Learn how to use the Robot Operating System (ROS) version 2 platform (ROS2), which is used to program real-world robotics.
From industrial robots to autonomous cars to Research & Development systems, ROS is the backbone of a wide variety of automated systems.
The course is designed for beginners with little to no experience using ROS2. The coding in this course is done in C++ using ROS2 Humble. We will go over the installation of ROS2 and how to develop code that uses the framework, and even go over simulation tools so you can make your own robot and control it in simulation with code that can easily be ported to a real robotic system.
This course is also well suited towards developers who utilized the previous ROS version and want to learn how to use the newly reworked ROS2 API. It is also worth noting unlike ROS1, ROS2 has cross-platform support which allows it to be used on Ubuntu, Windows 10, and some versions of MacOS. ROS2 also allows for compatibility with ROS1 systems, so you can integrate your new ROS2 projects with your previous ROS1 systems.
Course Outline:
The course is broken into 7 main sections:
- Course Introduction
- Environment Setup
- ROS2 Overview
- Using ROS2 in C++
