Pandemics are driving digital transformation (DX) and increasing the adoption of robots in the enterprise. According to Automation World , a news site related to robotics, 44.9% of companies consider the use of robots in assembly plants and manufacturing facilities to be 'an essential part of their daily work' at the time of writing the article.

As companies become more dependent on robots to automate their operations, they are more likely to choose different types of robots, making it more difficult to organize and operate robots efficiently. However, robot development standards and work management systems are not unified, and each has its own control software, data format, and data repository, and in most cases they are not compatible. Also, when adding a new robot to the fleet, you need to connect the control software to the work management system and program the logic for the management app.

According to Amazon, the purpose of AWS IoT RoboRunner, which was released as a preview version, is 'to simplify the process of building a management app for robot fleets.' AWS IoT RoboRunner is based on the technology for robot fleet operation already used in Amazon's warehouse, and AWS customers organize the work of the entire operation by linking the robot with existing automation software. Data such as facility / location / robot task data can be aggregated and standardized in one repository.



And AWS Robotics Startup Accelerator is a 'program that provides resources for robot development companies to develop, prototype, test and commercialize products and services', so to speak, it is a development plan for robot development companies. Amazon says, 'By strategically linking with the technical resources and networks provided by AWS, we support robotics-related startups and industry-wide experiments and innovations, and connect startups and their technologies with AWS's customer base. You can do it. '

Startups participating in the AWS Robotics Startup Accelerator can receive advice and hands-on training from AWS and Mass Robotics experts, and can budget up to $ 10,000 for using AWS IoT and machine learning services. ) Will be provided. The program lasts four weeks, after which you'll have the opportunity to receive business development and investment guidance from Mass Robotics and co-market with AWS through blogs and case studies.

A public preview of AWS IoT RoboRunner will be available from November 30, 2021 Japan time on the east coast of the United States and in parts of Europe. During the preview period, there is no additional cost to use AWS IoT RoboRunner.
