Developing autonomous robots is hard. Because it requires both hardware and software to be developed, integrated and tested, doing so in a physical environment is difficult and costly. Using simulations, robot developers can test their code quickly, iterating many times before finally deploying software to the hardware for testing in the real world. Having a high-fidelity simulator allows developers to test vision, perception, and recognition systems for their robots with high confidence. Open 3D Engine (O3DE)  is a community driven, open source simulator that provides that level of high ..read more

From autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and robotic arms to drones and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), AWS provides a variety of cloud and edge services that customers use to build next generation robots. Next generation robots are connected – either periodically in denied, disrupted, intermittent, or limited (DDIL) network environments or consistently under reliable network conditions. Robots connected to AWS edge and cloud services can capture, store, and aggregate virtually limitless amounts of data. This data is used to build new functionality, train machine learning models, optimize automat ..read more

Introduction According to national institute of population and social security research, the working population in Japan is expected to decrease by 30% in the next 30 years. A rapidly aging population in Japan causes a shortage of labor in the security space. Figure 1: SEQSENSE’s security robot SQ-2 SEQSENSE, a robotics startup company in Japan, aims to solve this challenge by providing autonomous security robot service. They developed an intelligent security robot SQ-2. that patrols inside buildings. It navigates by itself using pre-created map of a floor, patrol multiple floors by com ..read more

In this post, you’ll learn how Brisa Robotics leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS) to collect, store, and process data from mixed fleets of vehicles to improve customer operations. Brisa transforms non-autonomous machines into fleets of autonomous vehicles that collect data to help customers track key performance metrics and improve operations. Their mission is to enhance its customers’ efficiencies by leveraging existing infrastructure and reusing old machines instead of selling scraps and buying new ones. Brisa provides unique modular robotic kits to enhance material handling equipment (MHE ..read more

Introduction Robots are used in various industries and use cases, such as medical robotics for surgeries, material movement robots for industrial automation, security robots for surveillance and monitoring, fruit picking robots for agriculture, and many more. Depending on the application, these robots create large amounts of data, which may contain sensitive information such as personally identifiable information (PII) or video feeds from restricted locations, and may be subject to compliance or regulatory requirements that impose strict isolation rules. Overview Business models such as Robot ..read more

Introduction ANT61 robotics is a start-up based in Sydney, Australia, that develops autonomous robots for space applications such as in-orbit satellite servicing to avoid putting human lives at risk. Their robots use AI-based control systems that enable them to perform installation and servicing tasks in unpredictable environments where remote control is impossible. In this post, you’ll learn how ANT61 uses simulation-based reinforcement learning to train its robots to perform tasks in space. You’ll understand how they use AWS to run simulations in parallel to reduce the time and cost of their ..read more

Introduction Headless robotic simulations with AWS Batch allow robot developers to increase their velocity by running their code through thousands of scenarios and iterating before moving onto physical device testing. The real-world environments and situations a robot can find itself in are nearly endless. What’s worse, it is time consuming and costly to deploy and test every scenario on physical robots. AWS Batch is a service that gives robot developers an easy way to run batch robotics simulation at massive scale with custom control of what compute types to use. Note that AWS Batch is best u ..read more

When you think of robots, do you only think about hardware? Or do you think of delivering robotics solutions that can increasingly reach new levels of autonomy and optimize sophisticated processes? There’s more to robotics technology that meets the eye – physical devices are dependent on systems that train them and provide intelligence. Today, these machines can deliver automation that goes beyond what rigid programming models could enable, often learning from their own experiences and making dynamic decisions informed by data they gather from the environment in which they operate. At the end ..read more
