…AWS's comprehensive suite of services, with an emphasis on RoboMaker and IoT Greengrass. RoboMaker empowers developers to run test templates and log software events, resulting in enhanced evaluation and reporting and an 80% reduction in testing time. Meanwhile, IoT Greengrass has enabled Addverb to leverage shipping containers for expedited robot delivery and real-time remote monitoring. “By harnessing the power of AWS, we have laid a concrete infrastructure that will soon enable us to deliver robots as a service,” emphasized Kathi Raja Ravindra, leader of Addverb's cloud DevOps team. “AWS seamlessly integrates with the tools that have made our existing development…

…for robotics at NVIDIA. “It’s available now on AWS RoboMaker, a cloud-based simulation service for robotics development and testing,” he said. “And, developers can download it from NVIDIA NGC and deploy it to any public cloud.” Using Isaac Sim in the cloud, roboticists will be able to generate large datasets from physically accurate sensor simulations to train artificial intelligence-based perception models, said NVIDIA. The synthetic data these simulations generate can improve the model performance and provide training data that often can’t be collected in the real world, it said. Developers can now test an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) in batches…

…its Flippy 2 and Flippy Lite systems using AWS RoboMaker. The companies said this will enable Miso to run up to 50 simulations at once, helping it to turn prototypes into functional products at a faster rate. “Integrating into AWS RoboMaker has been a gamechanger for us to scale our products and make sure the software and its updates are ready to deploy with units in the field,” said Chris Kruger, chief technology officer of Miso Robotics. “We went from running 12 simulations a month with single units to doing 100 in a night. By testing hundreds of configurations in…

…commitment to helping robotics developers, including through the AWS RoboMaker simulation service. The company previously held a virtual robotics accelerator in August. AWS IoT RoboRunner built on existing tech AWS IoT RoboRunner is built on the technology already in use in Amazon's e-commerce fulfillment centers and is available to robotics developers. The company said it developed AWS IoT RoboRunner to focus on robotic fleets and potentially enable interoperability. “In 2018, we launched AWS RoboMaker, a cloud-based simulation service that enables robotics developers to run, scale, and automate simulation without managing any infrastructure,” said Channy Yun, principal developer advocate for AWS.…

…such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), which offers its RoboMaker product. The goal of orchestration, explained Klappich, is to more easily establish unified workflows using different robots. For instance, a larger AMR or an autonomous lift truck can bring pallets to replenish a pick area supported by another type of robot. There generally is less need for such a solution if a company is new to robotics, advised Klappich. “The need depends on the complexity of the environment,” he said. “If you are an operation just getting started with robotics and want to integrate one AMR solution with one WMS,…

…Outpost, a pioneer in lunar surface robotics, uses AWS RoboMaker to test and validate robotics software in a simulated lunar environment, enabling it to speed up robot delivery and reduce software bugs in deployment. Let's look at how AWS Robotics is helping robotics startups use cloud technology to establish a scalable infrastructure for building, testing, and managing robots. Robots are being used for increasingly advanced use cases, equipped with artificial intelligence to navigate and perform tasks autonomously in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, consumer goods, healthcare, and agriculture. These advanced use cases require innovative solutions. Robotics startups equipped with the…

…to date for production robotics application development.” While AWS RoboMaker no longer supports ROS Kinetic, its support of ROS 2 Foxy Fitzroy for simulation and development does include Navigation2 (Nav2). Nav2 “is the second generation of the ROS Navigation software stack, enabling robots to move autonomously from Point A to B,” wrote Matthew Hansen, principal solutions architect at AWS Robotics, in a blog post last week. “Nav2 includes new features not previously available in ROS that help developers improve the performance of their robot’s navigation and enables new robotics use cases within logistics, hospitals, or security.” Hansen answered the following…

…various platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Amazon AWS RoboMaker starting in the second half of 2021. It added that it anticipates more robot applications incorporating the cloud and artificial intelligence to be deployed. To familiarize users to ROS 2 and expose its new features to operators, Doosan said it will supply tutorial packages on creating robot functions via its partner supporting site, Doosan Robot LAB. Video tutorials on ROS application will also be available on the site. Doosan Robotics has been supporting ROS Kinetic and ROS Melodic since 2019, and additionally distributed the ROS Noetic package in March this…
