…manager 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…
