ROS Training for Industry
Introduction
We're glad to announce the ROS training for robotics engineers, software developers, and other enthusiasts interested in getting started with ROS quickly.
The purpose of this 5-day intensive training is to make you a proficient Robot Operating System (ROS) developer. Starting with the ROS fundamentals the course will take you step-by-step through the important aspects of robotics and gives you hands-on experience on developing, debugging, and testing ROS applications. During the course, you will create your own ROS driver package for custom hardware, use ROS debugging and testing tools, and apply continous integration for automated builds. We also take a look on how mobile robots use 2D/3D mapping algorithms and use created maps to navigate towards a given goal. Participants will learn how to represent robotic manipulators in URDF format and how to calculate collision-free trajectories using the powerful MoveIt! package.
Prerequisites
A basic understanding in Python or C++ programming languages is assumed in this course.
