This live engineering demo showcases a reusable Physical AI reference architecture connecting NVIDIA Isaac Sim, ROS 2, and AWS cloud and edge services. Attendees will see a simulated robot navigate a maze on a GPU enabled EC2 instance, with real time telemetry streamed via AWS IoT Greengrass and visualized in a browser based kiosk. A conversational AI interface translates natural language commands into robot motion using Amazon Bedrock. Simulation data is persisted to S3 for replay, analytics, and ML workflows, demonstrating how teams can scale from simulation to cloud connected autonomy.
