Overview
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and how to apply it in robotics development using NVIDIA Isaac Sim and ROS 2. Through a series of modules, you will explore the concept of SIL, its benefits, and how to integrate it with ROS 2 packages for simulation-based testing. You will also gain hands-on experience with visual programming using OmniGraph and testing an image segmentation application in simulated environments. This course is designed for students who are familiar with Isaac Sim and ROS development. It is an introductory-level course, providing a comprehensive introduction to SIL and its application in robotics development. By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of how to use SIL to test and validate robotics software in a simulated environment.
