Companies like Amazon rely on robots to automate
their operations in warehouse facilities, fulfillment
centers, manufacturing lines, and more. However,
its difficult to scale and advance robotics fleets
without increasing costs or reducing operational
efficiency. Simulation is a useful tool for robotics
development that enables companies to accelerate
robotic solution delivery, train robots more
accurately, and optimize complex robotics
operations before physical deployment. In this
session, you learn how Amazon uses simulation to
build AI enabled robots at scale and design robotic
configurations for maximum efficiency. Christine
Osik, Head of Simulation at Amazon Robotics, joins
us to provide an inside look at Amazon’s challenges

For robots to perform complex tasks such as
automated monitoring and visual inspection, they
must be able to perceive and understand their
environments, which is accomplished by using
computer vision (CV) models. To effectively train a
CV model to operate in a dynamic environment, ML
scientists must collect a large and variable set of
real-world images, a time consuming and expensive
process. In this session, we discuss why and how
Amazon Robotics uses synthetic data generation to
accelerate and scale CV model development for
their robotic arms.

How synthetic data can
improve your robot
performance
Building autonomous robots requires a
multidisciplinary team with specialized skills in
nascent technology domains such as AI/ML and
simulation. AWS Robotics provides a specialized set
of tools and solutions that makes it easier and
faster for robotics developers to build and operate
cloud-enhanced autonomous robots. In this chalk
talk, learn how to manage and deploy software at
the edge, build an MLOps pipeline, and ingest and
stream live video for robot surveillance and
interaction.

Breakout sessions are lecture-
style and one hour long. Sessions
are delivered by AWS experts,
customers, and partners, and
they typically include 10–15
minutes at the end for Q&A.
Chalk talks are one hour long and
contain expert-level content presented
by AWS experts. The goal is to foster a
technical discussion around real-world
architecture challenges
Workshops organize attendees into
small groups and provide scenarios
to encourage interaction, giving you
the opportunity to learn from and
teach each other.
These are 60-minute small group sessions
with up to six attendees per table, and one
AWS expert, who is there to answer
questions and provide guidance.

Building your agenda
• Make sure to watch the Leadership sessions that are most relevant to your areas of interest to get the most strategic updates.
➢ We recommend the IoT Leadership Session (Thurs, Dec 2 | 11:30-12:30pm) and AWS for the Edge Leadership Session
(Thurs, Dec 2 | 2:30-3:30pm)
• Be sure to not miss out on all the Keynotes, as that’s where you’ll catch the biggest AWS launches!
• re:Invent always tries to feature as many customers directly speaking about their real-world experiences of using AWS products
and services. You’ll find them in many breakout sessions, as well as keynotes.
• Think about topics that are currently mission critical to your team, and topics you’re interested in learning more about.
• Breakout sessions will be available to watch virtually, even if you are registered for in-person re:Invent.
• Make an extensive list of sessions to watch! Favorite lots of sessions so when reserved seating goes live, you have lots of options.
