Creating images to run the hello world sample application

You can use the Hello World sample application that we provide to help you understand how to create and run your simulation and robot applications. In the following sections, we show you how to create and run images for the following development environments:

ROS is the robot operating system used for your robot applications. Gazebo is the operating system for your simulation applications. AWS RoboMaker uses both software suites to use container images and provide validation checks.

The tutorials guide you through using AWS RoboMaker container images to set up the Hello World robot and simulation applications. The Hello World applications are example applications that help you understand how to work with AWS RoboMaker.

For each tutorial, you create images for both your robot and simulation applications. You can run the images locally to test how they work. If your simulations work properly, you can push them to Amazon ECR and run simulation jobs in the cloud. For more information about simulation jobs, see Simulation with AWS RoboMaker.
