Massrobotics and AWS Robotics join forces; New Savioke Relay+

Engineering & simulationSavioke Relay+

Savioke used machine vision and AI to control a mechanical actuator that physically pushes elevator buttons, enabling the robot to call and enter elevators in buildings with legacy hardware without requiring network integration or control board replacements.

“they are deployed a mechanical, um, actuator, um, on the robot now, and using machine vision and AI. Um, they can actually bring the robot up and actually push the button to call the elevator and then actually push the floor button for the right floor in the elevator.”

Engineering & simulationAWS RoboRunner

AWS developed and launched RoboRunner, a multivendor fleet management system that uses real-time telemetry and task allocation algorithms to orchestrate diverse robot fleets, adjusting for congestion and blockages to optimize industrial automation workflows.

“RoboRunner is a, is a multivendor fleet management system that provides, um, connectivity from your robots to your, uh, MES or ERP systems. … you can adjust for real-time issues like congestion or blockages. … And, and you can, you can really build a highly optimized um, orchestration, application using, using Robo Runner.”

Engineering & simulationAWS (general infrastructure/tools)

AWS provides technical expertise and tools to help robotics startups build ML models, source training data, and deploy real-time ML models on the edge, aiming to demystify the process and accelerate the development of advanced perception systems for their robots.

“I think with with AIML, you know, applications for robotics, a lot of times the biggest education is just letting people know what's possible. And helping them understand like where the state of the art is and how you can achieve that. And, you know, for the most part today, uh, you can you can build very advanced perception systems in the cloud, uh, you know, the tools are are reasonably mature.”
