ROBOTCORE Cloud allows roboticists to launch parts of their ROS 2 computational graphs into the cloud while addressing interoperability and scalability issues. It supports the most popular cloud providers including Azure, GCP and AWS.

The example demonstrated in here shows how ROBOTCORE Cloud extends the ROS 2 launch system to provision, set up, configure and launch part of the computational graph (a talker) into a remote AWS machine while setting up a VPN for communication with the cloud and while keeping the same exact development flow and using the common ROS syntax in launch files.
