Amazon Confidential and Trademark 33 Customer stories “We have been evaluating AWS RoboMaker for our line of Furo robots, used in public venues for guest services, information, and entertainment. Through this evaluation, we’ve discovered that the RoboMaker cloud extensions have provided us with a comprehensive set of intelligence features that can be leveraged with little development effort because they easily integrate into our existing ROS application. As a new AWS customer, the sample applications provided us with exactly what we needed to get started. With the acceleration of development time we expect to gain from AWS and RoboMaker, we now have new ideas and possibilities for market expansion.” —Dr. SeKyong Song, Founder and CEO, Future Robot

Lea is interactive, keeps elderly safe and active, while it can talk to you, navigate around your house and keep you connected with family and doctors. We have used RoboMaker cloud extensions for ROS to enhance Lea with video and telemetry data streaming, and voice interaction capabilities using services like Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Lex, and Amazon Polly. These cloud services and extensions provided by RoboMaker have enabled us to rapidly develop new features, while breaking the limitations of small on-board computing power.” —Dimitrios Chronopoulos, Lead Mobility Engineer, Robot Care Systems

Amazon Confidential and Trademark 36 AWS RoboMaker Pricing Structure v Cloud Extensions for ROS: Customers will incur standard AWS service charges when the ROS application utilizes an AWS service through these cloud extensions. v Development Environment: There is no extra charge for the RoboMaker development environment. Customers pay only for the underlying compute and storage resources (e.g. EC2 instances and EBS volumes). v Simulation: Pricing is based on resource consumptions, measured as number of “Simulation Units”. “Simulation Unit” is metered at minute granularity and each unit is comprised of 1 vCPU and 2 GB memory and is charged at $0.4 per hour. v Fleet Management: Customers pay for the underlying Greengrass resources at the standard price of $0.16 per active robot (device) per month.
