Overview
This course is designed for technical professionals seeking practical skills in developing applications with Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2). Focusing heavily on hands-on practice, the course offers a thorough exploration of key ROS 2 concepts and development workflows, enabling learners to create and troubleshoot robotic applications in an open-source, vendor-neutral environment.
The 32-hour duration provides ample time for in-depth coding exercises, application of best practices, and iterative testing—essential for understanding modularity, messaging, and integration within ROS 2 systems. Learners will also participate in project-based learning and guided lab sessions that reinforce both foundational and advanced topics.
Course Description & Learning Outcomes
Robot Operating System (ROS) is a hardware-agnostic middleware framework that enables communication between various devices. It is an intuitive and modular communication framework that has gained widespread adoption among robot users in the last decade. It offers great benefits in terms of congregating organisations and engineers around the world with an open platform, common architecture, tools, as well as ready-to-use modules to create advanced robotics solutions efficiently and affordably.
ROS-Industrial is an open-sourced project that extends the advanced capabilities of ROS to industrial-relevant hardware and applications. As a Consortium, part of its mission is to accelerate the development and adoption of ROS by providing technical support and training to facilitate the continued adoption in the industry.
The ROS2 Basics course focuses strongly on the Learn-Through-Application approach. Through an intensive 4-day training sessions, participants will be given useful tools to acquire basic ROS2 theoretical concepts outside of class, and during in-person sessions they will be given the opportunity to apply these simple but powerful concepts on a robot for a demonstration use case.
Upon completion of this course, participants would then be able to move onto more advanced modules in the areas of robotic perception, navigation and manipulation to dive deep and learn specialized concepts and create more complex industry-based solutions.
The 4-day course offers the following:
Introduction to the concepts of ROS2
Introduction to ROS2 Workspaces, Packages, and Nodes
Introduction to ROS2 Communication Concepts
Hands-on exercises
