1 Review(s) | Add Your Review

This comprehensive course offers an in-depth exploration of the Robot Operating System (ROS a.k.a ROS2), tailored for professionals aiming to enhance their expertise in intelligent robotics. Participants will begin with an introduction to ROS, understanding its applications and installation procedures. The course will cover practical tools and techniques such as ROS CLI tools for environment configuration, using turtlesim, and managing nodes and topics. This training provides a solid foundation in navigating the ROS environment, ensuring participants are well-prepared to implement these skills in various robotics applications.

Advancing further, attendees will delve into more complex topics such as ROS Client Libraries, ROS TF2 for managing dependencies, and ROS Navigation for mastering LIDAR and SLAM techniques. Practical sessions include writing publishers, subscribers, and clients in Python, creating custom interfaces, and controlling robot movements through the Turtlebot and robot arms using Moveit packages. By applying control theory and system feedback, participants will be equipped to diagnose robotic system faults and review organizational workflows efficiently, ensuring a high level of application in real-world scenarios.

Learning Outcomes

By end of the course, learners should be able to:

Review organizational workflows using ROS in accordance to the principles of automation technologies.
Diagnose robotic system faults using ROS during robot setup and operations.
