<h2>Sad because you missed <a href="https://reinvent.awsevents.com/">re:Invent 2019</a>?</h2>

<p>Well cheer up, my friends... it's time for a re:Cap! Here's what I'm going to do.</p> 

In THIS post, I'll share major highlights from the AWS robotics🤖 track that include recorded YouTube sessions! 

And in the NEXT post, I'll summarize great sessions targeted for getting started on AWS. 


<h2>Let's re:Cap the robots!</h2>

🤖 (OPN201) Change is coming to robotics development: The shift to ROS 2
🎥 <mark>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ66pI_d5WE </mark>
<em>Learn how the design, development, and features of ROS 2 change the landscape for all robot lovers.</em>

🤖 Rise of the Machines: Bring AI to your Robot 
🌐 <mark>https://www.robomakerworkshops.com/jetbot-ml-workshop </mark>
<em>To replicate this workshop at home, you'll need to get your hands on a ROS physical robot, via a <a href="https://www.waveshare.com/jetbot-ai-kit.htm">WaveShare Nvidia Jetbot Kit</a>. You'll deploy code to an actual robot, versus only running simulations! You'll even learn about <a href="https://www.ros.org/">ROS</a> and <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/robomaker/">AWS RoboMaker</a>.</em>
