…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…

…powering 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…

…involves universal fleet managers 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…

…has been an integral part of Amazon Web Services (AWS) since our beginning. Today, more startups build on AWS than any other cloud provider, and many of our customers started using AWS at an early stage to help scale their business and drive innovation. For example, Lunar 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…

…20.04 (Focal Fossa) operating system. Seattle-based Amazon Web Services (AWS) said that “ROS 2 Foxy is the most secure and reliable ROS distribution 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…

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…
