The ROS Introduction Course introduces students to the Robot Operating System (ROS), the industry-standard middleware for programming and controlling robots. Ideal for learners with a foundation in Python or robotics, this course covers ROS concepts like nodes, topics, services, and packages, while guiding students through real-world robotics simulations using Gazebo and Rviz. It sets the groundwork for anyone aiming to build intelligent, modular robot systems.
This course serves as the first step into the world of professional robotics development. Students will learn how to install and configure ROS (Ubuntu), create and manage workspaces, write basic publisher/subscriber nodes in Python, and simulate robot behavior in Gazebo. A focus on hands-on application ensures learners can connect software logic to physical robot responses.
