Course
Create Your First Robot with ROS Python
Creating your first ROS based Robot from Scratch
Course Overview
Description
Have you ever dreamed of creating a robot, a robot that truly belongs to you?
In this course, you are going to make your dream come true. You will go through the whole process of mounting the robot, creating a simulation for the robot so that you can test your ROS programs there, building all the controllers for the robot, and finally, getting it to autonomously navigate using ROS tools.
Learning Objectives
- From idea to real robot
- Mount a real robot
- Create a simulation for the robot
- Control your robot with ROS
- Advanced Utilities: Autonomous Navigation, Deep Learning…
