Docker for Robotics

Learn how to integrate Docker into robotics development

Course Overview

Docker is an open platform for developing, managing and running applications. Docker enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver software quickly.

This course is a hands-on introduction to the key concepts required to master Docker. During the course, we will skip over all the unnecessary noise and focus on what really matters.

What our students think

“I have had a great experience with The Construct. I believe much of what I have learned thus far regarding ROS has been from these courses and the concepts behind the implementation of ROS have been helpful even outside of ROS applications.”

Sam Daly

“I’m very happy about working with The Constructsim, it is affordable, it is very comfortable for me, and the tools in the GUI are very useful”

Bladimir Bacca Cortes

“I really liked the learning approach based on projects and practical examples and I found the final project with an actual robot to be very useful and challenging.”
