This project-based course is for those who want to learn ROS, the Robot Operating System by building a real robot. The course will guide you through the functionalities of ROS from a theoretical and practical point of view. You will be able to master the concepts covered in this course and use them in your future projects or job roles.
Each section is divided into 3 parts:
Theoretical explanation of a concept and its functionality.
A simple application of the concept in a practical example.
Application of the functionality in a real Robot.
As part of your active learning, you can experiment, develop and test your ideas in the Robot (real or simulated on your PC)
As mentioned above, in each section of the course, you will be introduced to a new concept. This concept will then be used to add new functionalities to the robot. This will help you enter the robotic world seamlessly.
The code lessons are available in both C++ and Python. You can decide which language to use during the course. However, I suggest you follow both in order to complete your Robotics Software Developer profile.
