AWS wants an “easy button” to teach robots to work, and makes it open source

Amazon Web Services has launched the “Physical AI Toolchain”, a set of free, modifiable tools that supports robot makers from data collection through to deployment, according to the Korean site Robot Newspaper.

Sri Elaprolu, a director at AWS, sums up the tool's ambition: to build a sort of “easy button”, so that teams can focus on their problem without worrying about computing infrastructure.

The toolchain brings together AWS services and Nvidia's software for robot artificial intelligence in a single workflow. Robot Newspaper itself cites the site The Robot Report.

One of the examples given is Telexistence, a Japanese company that installs humanoid robots in convenience stores. According to the AWS executive, more than 300 have already been deployed there, and more are due to follow.

Because the tool is open source, start-ups and large groups alike can use and modify it.
