I would like to dedicate this episode to all the ROS Developers who believe that ChatGPT or Compiler won’t take our jobs but rather help us become more efficient and create better, faster, and more intelligent programs. If you share this perspective, this episode is dedicated to you!
In this episode, we will dive into Generative AI tools for robotics!
Let me introduce you Tomoya Fujita. We had Tomoya already on the podcast talking about Kubernetes for ROS. But today he is going to talk about something different. Tomoya is a Software Architect/Engineer at Sony RDC US Lab. He is a ROS expert and a member of the ROS TSC committee. Today he came to talk about his latest development ros2ai.

I would like to dedicate this episode to all the ROS developers who want to use large-scale realistic robotic simulations. If you are thinking of working in that direction, this podcast episode is dedicated to you!
Today we are going to talk a lot about simulation and how to do it with open-source code.
But before going into the meat, let me introduce you to the Robotics Developer Masterclass Program that we have developed at The Construct have created. In The Robotics Developer Masterclass, we teach people from zero background to become a robotics developer in only 6 months. You will have around 1000 hours of learning, acquiring all the skills you need to enter a company and start working with programming robots. You will have all the practical skills that companies are requesting.
Take a look at the path we provide, taking you from a novice to a robotics developer status, making you job-ready to be hired and work from day one.
By the end of the program, you’ll have a 3-month internship (optional) at some robotics company to practice the skills you have learned from the Masterclass. The next batch will be opened in March 2024.
Have a look at our webpage about the different subjects you can learn on ROS1 and ROS2 and start the practice with robots from minute one with The Construct.
Now let me introduce you, Adam Dabrowski. Adam is the VP of Robotics and Simulation at Robotec.ai where he and his team have developed the robotics part of Open 3D Engine, an alternative to do realistic large-scale simulations in ROS.
I would like to dedicate this episode to the people who are still working on autonomous driving. We believe that it will be the technology of the future, with many interesting and exciting job opportunities. We want to promote and support those who are actively involved in this field. So, if that describes you, this episode is dedicated to you!
Today we are going to learn about autonomous driving!

Take a look at the path we provide, taking you from a novice to a robotics developer status, making you job-ready to be hired and work from day one. The Robotics Masterclass program is based on several phases. For each phase, you are going to have some online courses with simulations that also connect with the remote robot lab we have built for the different phases.
For the final project, you’ll have to work in a Real Robot Cafeteria that we built at The Construct.

Let me introduce you to Santiago Montiel Marín. Santiago is a Ph.D. student and researcher at the Universidad de Alcalá, His research focuses on radar perception for autonomous vehicles. Santiago is one of the developers of AIVATAR, which is an open-source autonomous driving stack project.
I would like to dedicate this episode to all the ROS developers who are considering professional robots and applications design, beginning with simulations. Starting with simulations is crucial, even if your preference is to work with real robots, to avoid errors and save time. If this is what you think when you are developing robots, then this episode is dedicated to you!
Today, we are going to talk about simulations!
But before going into the meat, let me tell you about the Robotics Developer Masterclass that we at The Construct have created. The Robotics Developer Masterclass is a full teaching package that lasts about 6 months, you can go at your own pace. It will teach you all the skills you need to go into a company and start working with programming robots. You will have all the practical skills that companies are requesting. You can have a look at the Path that we are providing to you where we bring you from novice status into a robotics developer status where you are job-ready to be hired and work from Day one.
