AWS RoboMaker is a service that makes it easy to create robotics applications at scale. AWS RoboMaker extends the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework with cloud services including AWS monitoring services, analytics services, and even machine learning services. AWS RoboMaker also provides a robotics application development environment, a robotics simulation service, and a fleet management […]

An increasingly large number of companion robots, vacuum cleaning robots, delivery robots, and inspection drones are shipped to consumers or deployed to the field every day. Today, any robotics developer or company can use AWS RoboMaker’s fleet management features to deploy applications and application updates to their robots and manage robot fleets of any scale. […]

Roboticists test their robot applications in simulations to understand how applications behave in different environments. This helps roboticists debug their applications and develop resilient robots. Recently, AWS launched log-based simulation in AWS RoboMaker. Log-based simulation eases the burden of building and managing infrastructure for log-based simulations. In the world of Robot Operating Systems (ROS), a ROS bag is a file containing the […]
