In recent years, more and more robots with functions such as cleaning and guidance have been used.However, there is a major challenge that the robots of each robot require management and operation, and robots of different manufacturers cannot cooperate.A venture from Nagoya University is developing a cloud platform that solves this issue.

After working as an automobile manufacturer, start a business
Aichi Prefecture is focusing on the promotion of the robot industry in order to grow into the "third pillar" after cars, air and universe.In November 2014, the Aichi Robot Industry Cluster Promotion Council was established, and has been engaged in various activities, including the Aichi Robot Robot Transformation (formerly Aichi Robot Showcase), a robot social implementation promotion project.
OnClouds, founded in 2017, is now attracting attention as a robot -related venture from Nagoya University, a leading university in Aichi Prefecture.The company has developed a cloud platform "Raas", which simultaneously controls multiple autonomous mobile robots.
Founder Masayuki Shimizu has been engaged in research and development of "non -hitting cars" since joining a car manufacturer in 2001.It is a system in which a car knows obstacles and automatically applies brakes to avoid collisions.In 2016, he entered Nagoya University Graduate School, thinking, "I want to keep what I have learned in a paper," and "I want to get a doctorate for my career."Under Professor Hiroshi Murase, a major in intelligence systems at the Graduate School of Informatics, he has begun researching image recognition using AI, which also leads to the development of cars that cannot be hit.Therefore, it is said that a change has occurred.
"As I went to graduate school, I was interested in utilizing robots while I was conducting research using AI. Using AI and robot technology, it would change society that would help the world.I wanted to do that. "
