Prerequisites

Linux for Robotics

Simulated Robot Used

Neobotix MP-400 Simulation

The MP-400 can be used in more ambitious applications as an autonomous carrier of special equipment or as an experimental system in robotics research, the MP-400 masters almost all tasks, also with full ROS support.

Syllabus

Unit 1: Introduction

Rust is a modern computer programming language developed by Mozilla in 2010. Rust is used for three essential purposes in programming: performance, safety, and memory management. Rust has gained recognition for its focus on memory safety and performance, making it a favorable choice for systems programming, web applications, and game development.

Why Rust:

The ownership concept provides proper memory management without memory issues mostly faced by developers.
It has a friendlier syntax than C++ and provides better code and thread safety.
Computer programs are designed to allow smooth integration of computer hardware and software.
Easier code building, maintenance, and clarity.
Down to machine code compilation, delivering execution speeds closer to languages like C++ or C.
Rust’s package manager, Cargo, provides a centralized mechanism for managing dependencies and constructing projects.
Reduces data compile time as it provides better concurrency than other programming languages.

Unit 2: Basics Concept

In this unit, you will learn:

How to structure and launch ROS2 programs (packages and launch files)
How to create basic ROS2 programs using Rust
Basic ROS2 concepts: nodes, client libraries, etc

Unit 3: ROS2 Topics

In this unit, you’ll learn:

Topics and how to manage them
Publishers and how to create one
Topic messages and how they work
Subscribers and how to create one
How to create your own interface

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.”
