Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced the Physical AI Toolchain, an open-source toolset designed for robot developers, following the discontinuation of its RoboMaker service over a year ago. RoboMaker, launched in 2018, provided a development environment for robot software, cloud simulation, and fleet management, but was officially terminated on September 10, 2025. AWS recommends users transition their simulation tasks to its Batch service.
The new toolchain allows developers to access reference code on GitHub, enabling them to deploy modules within their AWS accounts and utilize cloud computing and storage resources to run NVIDIA models and simulation software. AWS aims to streamline the development process for teams that have acquired models but struggle with infrastructure setup, as noted by Uwem Ukpong, AWS's Vice President of Industry Business.
The toolchain includes example code that guides developers in training robotic arms, such as the UR3, by collecting and organizing data from various devices. Developers can use provided demonstration data to familiarize themselves with the training process on AWS, allowing them to adapt and modify the workflow according to their specific tasks. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
