How to Start Robotics Testing in Simulation - AWS Online Tech Talks

For development and QA teams considering simulation for robotics applications testing, it’s hard to know where to start. The benefits of testing robots in safe virtual worlds without extra robotics hardware are great, but understanding simulation engines, 3D world design, simulation assets, URDFs, etc. can be daunting. 3D simulation is a useful tool for robotics companies to accelerate application development and reduce the number of software defects introduced in production. This tech talk will explain the key concepts and components of robotics simulation. We will show how you can get started quickly with simulation for ROS-based robots in the cloud using AWS RoboMaker and its Gazebo-based simulation environment. We will dive deep with an end-to-end workflow for robotics application developers to stand up simulation environments, use AWS-provided open-source worlds and assets, and run some basic tests in simulation that validate common robot behaviors such as reaching a navigation goal.

Learning Objectives:
*Learn the basics of getting started with simulations in Gazebo
*Learn how to build and use 3D simulation assets with your ROS applications
*Learn how to run simulations in AWS RoboMaker
