Building robots to make hospitals smarter and safer
summary
AWS describes AWS RoboMaker as a managed ROS/Gazebo platform with an open-source hospital world and CI-friendly tooling that lets teams run hundreds of reproducible scenarios in parallel, speed simulations faster-than-real-time, and find edge cases before field deployment. Demo uses ROS Melodic, Cloud9, S3 bundles and a PR2 in Gazebo to show SLAM, LiDAR obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation. Costs and scale are concrete: one simulation unit = 1 vCPU + 2 GB, $0.67/min, up to 15 vCPUs per job and batch API for parallel runs.
