Ep. 15: Can Mexico Become Robotics’ Next Powerhouse? | The Robo Success Podcast

Welcome to Episode 15 of The Robo Success Podcast, where robotics meets real-world impact.

In this episode, we explore what it actually takes to build and deploy robotics companies in Mexico—and what the region could become in the global robotics supply chain.

Our guest, Aldo Luevano, Chairman and Co-Founder of Roomie IT, shares his perspective on robotics, AI, entrepreneurship, and the realities of building deep tech in Latin America.

🎙️ Guest: Aldo Luevano

🎙️ Host: Jesica Chavez

🎙️ Co-host: Andy Diepen

🔍 What you'll hear:

• Why Roomie moved from consumer robotics to enterprise AI—and what the pivot revealed about the robotics market

• The challenge of proving ROI for humanoid robots, particularly in markets where labor costs remain relatively low

• Why compliance, security, and supply-chain considerations could create new opportunities for North American robotics

• How Mexico could become a strategic robotics manufacturing and hardware hub for the U.S. market

• Why components like actuators and servo motors may represent a more practical entry point into robotics than building an entire robot

The conversation also explores the realities of funding deep tech in Latin America, the difference between building hardware and software, and why customer feedback is critical when developing robotics products. For Aldo, building globally relevant technology requires more than technical innovation—it requires understanding where the market has a problem worth solving.
