EVENT DETAILS |
At AWS RoboMaker Day, you'll learn about robotics & machine learning within Amazon, get an introduction to working with Robot Operating System, & get hands on with RoboMaker by building a robotics application that will Find Fido using image detection. You'll have the chance to test it virtually in simulation to iterate & fine tune your code. You'll then complete the challenge by deploying the application to a physical robot to see if it can complete its mission. You can even compete with teams!
Who should attend
Robotics developers, engineers, & technical stakeholders
Prerequisites:
There are no prerequisites for the beginning of the day. The workshop portion will require some base-level knowledge & experience working with AWS services and/or Robot Operating System, as well as a laptop with an active AWS Account with administrative privileges.
Schedule
MARCH 29
9:30AM-10:00AM
Check-in
10:00AM-10:45AM
AWS Machine Learning Overview
Amazon has a long history in AI, from personalization & recommendation engines to robotics in fulfillment centers. Amazon Go, Amazon Alexa, & Amazon Prime Air are also examples. In this session, learn more about the latest machine learning services from AWS, & how they can be used to build robotics applications.
Level: 200
Speaker: Allan MacInnis, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS
10:45AM-11:15AM
Robotics Operation System (ROS) Primer
ROS is an open-source set of software libraries & tools that simplify the creation of robot applications. In this session, we'll review ROS basics & discuss AWS' commitment to growing the ROS community.
Level: 200
Speakers:
Allan MacInnis, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS
Maggie Tallman, Principal Business Development Manager, AWS
11:15AM-12:00PM
Introduction to AWS RoboMaker
AWS RoboMaker is a service that makes it easy to develop, test, & deploy intelligent robotics applications at scale. RoboMaker extends the most widely used open-source robotics software framework, ROS, with connectivity to cloud services. In this session, we'll review the features of AWS RoboMaker & learn how it can be used to simplify robotics development.
Level: 200
Speaker: Maggie Tallman, Principal Business Development Manager, AWS
12:00PM-1:30PM
Working Lunch: Build a Dog-Finding Robotics Application
Lunch provided courtesy of AWS. In this hands-on workshop, you'll use AWS RoboMaker to build a "Find Fido" robot application. You'll use AWS Cloud9 to develop the ROS-based application. You'll use Amazon Kinesis Video Streams & Amazon Rekognition to identify dogs in a live camera stream from the robot.
Level: 300
Speaker: Allan MacInnis, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS
1:30PM-3:00PM
Workshop: Simulate & Test Your Application
After you've built your application, you'll use Gazebo & AWS RoboMaker to test & fine tune it through simulation. You'll be able to see the camera view of the robot & determine if it's able to find Fido.
Level: 300
Speaker: Allan MacInnis, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS
3:00PM-4:30PM
Workshop: Deploy Your Application to the Robot
At the end of the workshop, you'll have created a robot that uses an on-board camera to search for dogs. To finish, you'll deploy & test your new application on a real robot.
Level: 300
Speaker: Allan MacInnis, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS
4:30PM-5:00PM
