| Rapyuta Robotics | Rapyuta Robotics is a global technology startup that builds cloud robotics solutions. Spun out of the Swiss Federal Institute (ETH Zürich) in 2014, the company now has about 90 employees global, and offices in Japan, and India. While improvements in technology are helping to make robotics more accessible to markets, the ability to integrate all therequired expertise remains a barrier for most companies. Rapyuta Robotics’ platform makes it significantly easier for businesses to deploy robotics solutions without needing in-house robotics expertise. By integrating robot hardware, software, sensor data, and applications in the cloud -- where powerful data centers manage the heavy computation -- Rapyuta’s platform lets end-users focus on their business processes instead of on managing robot hardware or software infrastructure. |  | Debt Financing | Mar 29, 2024 |  |
