Ryoichi Kumagai

In a space-related company, he was engaged in International Space Station (ISS) related operations. His contributions included spearheading the rack and element integration for the ISS's Japanese Experiment Module "Kibo", primarily overseeing the analytical tasks. Moving beyond his role as a ground controller for the cell experiment rack, which involved orchestrating operational preparations such as creating procedure manuals, he later played a pivotal role in advancing Kibo's adoption by private enterprises. Following this, he transitioned to a robotics venture, gaining experience in the terrestrial robot industry, before joining DigitalBlast.
