Question

What is this new RoboMaker launched by AWS?

Answer 1

AWS RoboMaker offers developers the ability to develop their code in the cloud, test it in open source robotics simulator Gazebo, and then deploy updates directly to their robots — be they airborne drones or robotic companions for the elderly. It also works on top of Robot Operating System (ROS), an open source framework for developing robotics software.

Ultimately, RoboMaker helps developers simultaneously create and configure multiple virtual worlds — from factories to retail stores — in which they can test software for their robots before deploying the code for real.
