Rapyuta Robotics

Rapyuta Robotics, formerly known as Rapyuta Project, is a notable endeavor that emerged from the Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). Founded on the vision of cloud-based robotics, Rapyuta aimed to reshape the capabilities of robots by leveraging the power of cloud computing and shared resources.

The project's name, "rapyuta," is inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's animated film "Castle in the Sky," where "rapyuta" refers to a floating island symbolizing technology and adventure. Similarly, Rapyuta Robotics envisioned a new horizon for robotic advancement.

Initially centered in Switzerland, the project sought to enable robots to offload computationally intensive tasks to the cloud, allowing them to access vast computational resources for real-time data analysis, decision-making, and enhanced perception. This approach promised to extend the capabilities of robots while maintaining a lightweight and efficient on-board hardware setup.
