The "Zero to ROS" course will take you quickly into ROS. You will learn all the essential concepts through hands on examples and assignments. Learn at your own pace: no schedule!

Course Curriculum

• Environment setup and Hello World: Setup your work environment with ROS Noetic and write your first Hello World project

• Your first ROSPackage: Learn the basics of ROS hands on, with a practical example. This section will guide you through the creation of a ROS package, ROS messages and launch files.

• Robot Simulation: We will use the popular turtlesim package, a simple 2D robot simulator, to explain the basics of robotic simulation in ROS. You will learn hands on how to deal with transformations, how to control your robot and navigate to a waypoint

• Introduction to Gazebo and Rviz: Gazebo is the popular physics simulator, compatible with ROS. Rviz is the popular visualization tool where you can display your robot position as well as sensors readings, planning... Learn how to build and visualize your robot and sensors using Xacro and Urdf

• Perception: Gazebo is the popular physics simulator, compatible with ROS. Rviz is the popular visualization tool where you can display your robot position as well as sensor readings, planning, etc. Learn how to build and visualize your robot and sensors using Xacro and Urdf

• Obstacle Avoidance: Put everything together and use the available sensors to avoid surrounding obstacles. You will learn to think like a robotic engineer with real world challenges
