The story
The developer of Digit, the first commercially deployed bi-pedal humanoid robot designed to work alongside humans in logistics and manufacturing environments.
On-premises infrastructure suffered from reliability issues and limited GPU availability, preventing the team from scaling complex perception and reinforcement learning models. These hardware constraints made it impossible to run the massive parallel simulations needed to meet compressed development timelines.
The company migrated its training pipeline to AWS, utilizing EC2 G6 GPU instances to execute tens of thousands of parallel simulation scenarios. Amazon EKS orchestrates the containerized workloads, managing tenant isolation and scaling resources for temporary training jobs. This architecture enables the robots to continuously refine their walking and navigation skills by learning from virtual environments before real-world deployment.
