Overview
Let’s learn the basics of fleet management
This hands-on training is a practical intro to using ROS2 to manage multi-robot systems using Open-RMF. We will learn how to use this open-source framework, and get hands-on experience using a small fleet of real robots.
What we will learn
- What is a fleet management system and when you need one
- How to manage fleets of robots using the Open Robotics Middleware Framework (Open-RMF)
- Have an overview of Open-RMF and what is capable of doing
- Define the working environment for the robots
- Connect your fleet of robots with Open-RMF
How we’ll proceed
- We will complete exercises with simulated robots, along with the instructors
- We will make a full project with an environment of real robots (BotBox)
Who is this tutorial for?
- For people who want to understand what a fleet management system provides
- Researchers in fleets of robots management
- Engineers or CTOs who want to build scalable robotics products, faster
100% PRACTICAL
Practice A Lot with Simulated & Real Robots
You will learn concepts in simulation before practicing on real robots.

- Linux for robotics (Free)
- Python3 for robotics (Free)
- ROS2 Basics in 5 Days (Python) (Not free)
Equipment:
- A laptop (you can use Windows, Linux, or macOS)
- Google Chrome or Firefox browser.
- It is not necessary to have Linux on your computer. Any operating system is valid.
+ What is the language used in the training?
English
+ What is the programming language used for the course?
Python in Linux
+ Do I need to install ROS in advance?
No. You only need to bring your laptop and connect to the internet. You can use Windows, Linux, or macOS.
