This episode is dedicated to all those people that are thinking about creating their own robotics company. May be you are a ROS Developer who have enough of working for others and want to make the step to lead your destiny.
Today we are going to talk about things to take into account when thinking about building your own robotics startup
But before going into that, let me remind you about our ROS online academy. Yes, at the Construct we have created an online academy named The Robot Ignite Academy which contains a ROS learning path for beginners. The path is composed by:
Of course all our courses are based on practice with simulated robots! (theory+practice)
Now let me introduce you Nicholas Fragale. Nicholas is co-founder of Rover Robotics a startup that builds wheeled robots for startups, educators and system integrators. He is going to tell us about his robots and his experience building a startup based on robots that run ROS2.
Today we are going to talk about the security features included in ROS2 and how we can make use of the SROS2 package to make our robot based on ROS2 more secure.

And now let’s go with the guest of today. Mikael Arguedas, he has been for more than 3 years a ROS Developer at Open Robotics. He is one of the guys who makes ROS!!! Specially he was in charge of developing ROS2 mainly everything concerned about making ROS2 more secure. At present he is working as Robotic Software Lead at Neofarm, a company devoted to produce better results in agriculture.
Today I’m going to express my opinion about what is the future of robot developers. Why are they so important for creating intelligent robots? Which technologies will they need to master? All that and more on the episode of today.
Today’s episode is a presentation I delivered for the Atlanta Monthly Meetup hosted by Sebastian Arias las August. You will find the slides of the presentation below.
But before going into that, let me remind you about our ROS online academy. Yes, at the Construct we have created an online academy named The Robot Ignite Academy which contains a ROS learning path for beginners. The path is composed by:
Remember that all our courses are robotics-practice based. This means that, even if you are learning theoretical stuff, you are applying it to the simulated robots included in the course.
Today we are going to learn all the ins and outs of MoveIt, the ROS package created to easily perform motion planning of arms in the ROS framework.
But before going into that, let me remind you about our ROS online academy. Yes, at the Construct we have created an online academy named The Robot Ignite Academy which contains a ROS learning path for beginners. The path is composed by:
Dave Coleman is the CEO of PickNik company, the company behind the development of MoveIt. He has been one of the main developers of MoveIt since the very beginning. He is also one of the developers of ROS Control. He is also an open source robotics advocate.
This episode is dedicated to all those people that like to build robotics projects, to test new ideas for robots, to experiment with robotics solutions, and build robots that work.
Today we are going to talk about how to make a living doing what we love the most: building robotics projects one after another without having to care if it is going to be a successful business or not. Just do the projects that we want because we want!…. ooohhh that is the dream of every roboticist!
But before going into that, let me remind you about our ROS online academy. Yes, at the Construct we have created an online academy named The Robot Ignite Academy which contains a ROS learning path for beginners. The path is composed by:
Now let me introduce you James Burton. James is an electrical and mechanical engineer who dedicates to build robot projects and post the whole process online on his Youtube channel. He has built amazing electromechanical projects like the BB-8 robot, the batman skateboard or the OpenDog. He is the real Youtube Maker for robotics projects!
This episode is dedicated to all those people that are thinking to move their robots to ROS2. One of the problems to move to ROS2 was the lack of a stable navigation system for ROS2 robots. But as you will learn today, this problem has been solved. So if you want to move to ROS2 and want to try to make a robot navigate, then this episode is dedicated to you.
Today we are going to talk about the ROS2 navigation stack which allows ROS2 robots to navigate autonomously.
But before going into that, let me remind you about our ROS online academy. Yes, at the Construct we have created an online academy named The Robot Ignite Academy which contains a ROS learning path for beginners. The path is composed by:
Now let me introduce you Steve Macenski. Steve works for Samsung Research America. There he is the open source robotics engineering lead of the company. He is a member of the board of the ROS2 Technical Steering Committee, and maintainer and developer of many important ROS2 packages related to the navigation system in ROS2.
This is the second time Steve comes to the podcast. Actually Steve was the winner of the ROS Award 2020 as the best ROS Developer of the world.
