robotics is exploding, but the community is fragmented what if we built an open robotics alliance to connect researchers, founders, engineers, students & hobbyists, share knowledge, collaborate, and build together?

I’ve been hiding behind “ryassho” on the internet for a while now, so I figured it’s time to tell you who’s actually behind the account for now, let’s just stick with that name until i’m comfortable putting my real name out here this is going to be a little long, but hear me out i was born and brought up in a small village in maharashtra my father is a farmer and businessman, but he has always loved technology and cricket, so naturally, i grew up around both he used to get me the latest video games and consoles, and a good chunk of my childhood was spent sitting inside four walls playing super mario and contra i still love video games btw somewhere along the way, that curiosity about technology stuck my father got me a laptop when i was in 6th standard it was technically his laptop, but i definitely used it more than he did 😂 i was pretty good at studies too, 96.40% in 10th then came the part where things got a little complicated i started preparing for engineering entrance exams and quickly realised that getting into a good engineering college in india meant entering the rat race so i joined coaching 15 days later, i left the environment and the mindset just didn’t feel like something i wanted to spend years of my life chasing thankfully, my parents supported that decision it wasn’t an easy one, but having them believe in me made it possible then i thought, if i’m going to compete for a top engineering college in india, why not try for the world so i applied to mit, stanford and a bunch of other universities i still have the rejection letters somewhere but i also got into nyu tandon school of engineering and several other universities couldn’t go because of money fair enough so i ended up at a tier 3 engineering college in india studying automation and robotics engineering and honestly, that ended up being one of the most important chapters of my life i wanted to build things i wanted to work on robotics i wanted to build something that could eventually matter outside of a college project so i started working on robotics and data infrastructure i applied to accelerators i reached out to startups i tried to get people to believe in an idea that, at the time, probably sounded a little too ambitious coming from a kid at a tier 3 college in india eventually i realised that if i couldn’t build the company yet, i could at least learn the industry from the inside so i started working with startups in the space in pretty much every capacity i could get my hands on whatever got me closer to the problems i wanted to solve i cared less about the title and more about getting the reps and today, i’m working in the exact industry i’ve wanted to build in for years still learning still figuring things out still trying to understand what i want to build outside of work, i’m honestly just a guy who likes doing a lot of random things i love playing video games i’ve been single for what feels like the longest time so if you’re single too, lmk maybe we can go on a date 😂 i’m constantly travelling between pune and bangalore i love going on treks and road trips this year i really want to make it to ladakh or kashmir i also love cooking and i’m actually pretty good at maharashtrian food give me a kitchen and i’ll figure something out i want to get into adventure sports too skydiving, scuba diving, paragliding anything that makes me question my life choices for a few minutes i’m still figuring out where all of this goes career, startups, robotics, travel, life maybe a little bit of everything but that’s me for now if you made it this far, thanks for reading :)

ryassho's tweet photo. I’ve been hiding behind “ryassho” on the internet for a while now, so I figured it’s time to tell you who’s actually behind the account

for now, let’s just stick with that name until i’m comfortable putting my real name out here

this is going to be a little long, but hear me out

i was born and brought up in a small village in maharashtra

my father is a farmer and businessman, but he has always loved technology and cricket, so naturally, i grew up around both

he used to get me the latest video games and consoles, and a good chunk of my childhood was spent sitting inside four walls playing super mario and contra

i still love video games btw

somewhere along the way, that curiosity about technology stuck

my father got me a laptop when i was in 6th standard

it was technically his laptop, but i definitely used it more than he did 😂

i was pretty good at studies too, 96.40% in 10th

then came the part where things got a little complicated

i started preparing for engineering entrance exams and quickly realised that getting into a good engineering college in india meant entering the rat race

so i joined coaching

15 days later, i left

the environment and the mindset just didn’t feel like something i wanted to spend years of my life chasing

thankfully, my parents supported that decision

it wasn’t an easy one, but having them believe in me made it possible

then i thought, if i’m going to compete for a top engineering college in india, why not try for the world

so i applied to mit, stanford and a bunch of other universities

i still have the rejection letters somewhere

but i also got into nyu tandon school of engineering and several other universities

couldn’t go because of money

fair enough

so i ended up at a tier 3 engineering college in india studying automation and robotics engineering

and honestly, that ended up being one of the most important chapters of my life

i wanted to build things

i wanted to work on robotics

i wanted to build something that could eventually matter outside of a college project

so i started working on robotics and data infrastructure

i applied to accelerators

i reached out to startups

i tried to get people to believe in an idea that, at the time, probably sounded a little too ambitious coming from a kid at a tier 3 college in india

eventually i realised that if i couldn’t build the company yet, i could at least learn the industry from the inside

so i started working with startups in the space in pretty much every capacity i could get my hands on

whatever got me closer to the problems i wanted to solve

i cared less about the title and more about getting the reps

and today, i’m working in the exact industry i’ve wanted to build in for years

still learning

still figuring things out

still trying to understand what i want to build

outside of work, i’m honestly just a guy who likes doing a lot of random things

i love playing video games

i’ve been single for what feels like the longest time

so if you’re single too, lmk

maybe we can go on a date 😂

i’m constantly travelling between pune and bangalore

i love going on treks and road trips

this year i really want to make it to ladakh or kashmir

i also love cooking

and i’m actually pretty good at maharashtrian food

give me a kitchen and i’ll figure something out

i want to get into adventure sports too
skydiving, scuba diving, paragliding

anything that makes me question my life choices for a few minutes

i’m still figuring out where all of this goes

career, startups, robotics, travel, life

maybe a little bit of everything

but that’s me for now

if you made it this far, thanks for reading :)

I’m looking to connect with robotics engineers/researchers who work with learned robot policies and would be open to testing an tool.
