Prerequisites

Simulated Robot Used

Maze World with TurtleBot3

TurtleBot3 is a small, affordable, programmable, ROS-based mobile robot for education, research, hobbies, and product prototyping. In this course, you will practice with a TurtleBot3 in a Maze World to explore Gazebo.

Course Final Hands-on Project

For the final project, you will prepare an entire simulation. You start from the ROS package. Next, you go through the world configuration with its models and connect it to Gazebo plugins. Finally, you will create a robot connected to ROS.

What our students think

“I am wholeheartedly grateful for this outstanding opportunity. I wouldn’t have found a better ROS beginner-friendly course elsewhere. Thanks, ConstructSim !“

Francois Gonothi Toure

“I have tried to start learning ROS before and that was so difficult because I didn’t understand how to start, now with these introductory courses I am very excited because I can finally start to enter this world.“

Daniel Martínez

“I really enjoy the practical aspect and learning by doing. I feel like I learn way faster and with a rich understanding.”
