AWS RoboMaker now supports over-the-air deployment job cancellation

Posted on: May 24, 2019

AWS RoboMaker, a service that makes it easy to develop, simulate, and deploy intelligent robotic applications, now supports over-the-air (OTA) deployment job cancellation in fleet management. This new feature allows developers and system engineers to easily limit the impact of a problematic application update by cancelling a running deployment job.  

Once a running deployment job is cancelled, the remaining robots in a fleet will not be updated until a new deployment job is created. 

AWS RoboMaker extends the most widely used open-source robotics software framework, Robot Operating System (ROS), with connectivity to cloud services. These cloud services provide a robotics development environment for application development, a robotics simulation service to accelerate application testing, and a robotics fleet management service for remote application deployment, update, and management. RoboMaker also provides cloud extensions that enable a robot to stream data, navigate, communicate, comprehend, and learn through AWS machine learning services, monitoring services, and analytics services. To get started, please explore the RoboMaker webpage or run a sample simulation job in the RoboMaker console

AWS RoboMaker is available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) regions.
