Episode 5 - Alysha Lobo: Empowering Evolution Through Innovation - Insights from Rapyuta Robotics
20 Nov 2023
Here are my top takeaways from my conversation with Alysha Lobo of Rapyuta Robotics: 1. Evolution is a natural process for societies. Humans have an innate desire for improvement, seeking better living conditions, increased knowledge, and enhanced well-being. This pursuit of progress fuels innovation, social change, and ultimately societal evolution. Rapyuta Robotics is making an important contributing to this evolution as they state in their core purpose: Empowering Lives With Connected Machines Based on our core value of empathy we strongly believe that the dirty, dull, and dangerous work should be automated, and people should be given an option to take up more intellectually challenging and creative work. We want to enable this automation with machines that are connected and coordinated in a streamlined manner. 2. There’s ALWAYS opportunity within every challenge: Alysha spoke about the land crisis in Japan. Due to limited land availability, Japan faces challenges in terms of space for housing, infrastructure, and other facilities. This scarcity of land created a need for innovative solutions to maximize the utilization of limited space. Rapyuta Robotics recognized this opportunity and developed compact and versatile robots that can perform tasks in confined spaces or areas with limited accessibility. These robots can efficiently navigate and operate in tight environments, enabling them to be utilized in various industries, such as construction, manufacturing, and healthcare. This is something we can all learn from, to use challenges as a catalyst to think creatively & produce innovative solutions. 3. Go the extra mile to understand your customers’ needs: One major reason Rapyuta Robotics is the market leader in Japan(The world leader in robotics manufacturing) is they have NEVER lost a customer, ie 100% customer retention. . As they elaborate on one of their core values, Empathy: We walk the extra mile to better understand the material, emotional, and intellectual needs and pain of our customers, colleagues, and communities. Bonus Takeaway: Pay attention to what fascinated you as a child: Alysha explained her passion for robotics started as a little girl when she would go to her dad’s power workshop & was fascinated by all the moving parts that were interconnected. She followed that interest throughout her life & career which has led her to be a highly respected authority in the field of robotics at a very young age.
