Description
Newly Updated For 2023! 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 back-bone of a wide variety of automated systems. I'm Raymond, an experienced Robotics Systems Developer with over 10 years of experience in developing robotics applications.The course is designed for beginners with little, to no experience using ROS2. The coding in this course is done in Python 3 using ROS2 Humble. We will go over installation of ROS2, 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. You will learn how to create robotic simulations, integrate advanced tools, and program robots using Python and ROS2. Here are a few of the course sections:Course Outline:The course is broken into 8 main sections:Course IntroductionEnvironment SetupROS2 OverviewUsing ROS2 in PythonAdditional ROS2 ToolsRobotics SimulationAdvanced Features In ROS2Course OutroSection 1 is a general introduction to the course.In section 2 you will learn how to setup your computer to be able to run ROS 2. This includes utilizing the Ubuntu operating system, installing ROS 2, and introducing you to the code editor we will be using in this course. In section 3 I will teach you at a high level what "tools" are included in the ROS 2 framework, and what each of them do.You will spend the majority of this course in section 4, learning how to implement all the various ROS2 tools in your very own Python code. Section 5 will touch on using the simulation and sensor data visualization tools ROS 2 has to offer.Section 6 will go over advanced features of ROS 2. This will cover building ROS 2 from source in order to utilize tools such as SROS, which allows you to secure your topic data, as well as utilizing the ROS 2 bridge which lets you communicate with ROS 1 Nodes.We will also be working with the famous OpenCV library to work with image data coming from our robot's camera. This course offers a comprehensive and practical approach to learning ROS2 Humble on Ubuntu 22, with real-world examples and coding walkthroughs in Python.So what are you waiting for? Let's get to programming, using the new and improved version of the most widely used open source robotics platform: ROS version 2.
