[Updated with ROS Noetic! This course is now valid for ROSKinetic, ROSMelodic and ROSNoetic] Learning ROS is hard, and you know it.
But why should it be so? There is a lack of structured resources for beginners.
You can find some explanations and programming tutorials online about the Robot Operating System, but they won't really tell you which way to go when you start, where to go, what to focus on, that's why I have created this course, which I wish I had when I started.
So you can learn ROS much faster than me.
The goal of this course is to eliminate the huge learning curve you face when you start learning ROS on your own.
I'll show you, step by step, what you need to know to get started and master the basics of ROS.
This course is: Structured in an easy way for a beginner to follow.
Going over all the ROS basics you need, step by step, getting to the point.
No useless and overly complicated stuff that you won't use anyway.
Full of practice and challenges to help you progress faster Now why should you choose my course? In the past I have developed full ROS software for a full 6 axis robotic arm.
I'm telling you this because in developing this robot, I learned (the hard way) what I really needed to know to build things that actually work.
My experience with ROS is not just about college work or a weekend hobby – in fact, I co-founded a business with a robot powered by ROS.
In doing so, I had to focus on getting to the point, finding out what is useful and what is not.
So today, with the hands-on insight I've developed, I know exactly what you need to learn early on if you want to get serious about building robotic applications.
What is this course about? This course will guide you, step by step, through all the basic functionalities of ROS.
Focus on the basics of ROS, the communication tools, and also how to build a scalable application with the robot operating system.
For each section, I'll explain a concept in a way that's easy to understand, and then you'll practice with me writing, building, and running some code.
I'll show you what to pay attention to, what to focus on, and how to avoid common mistakes.
And, most importantly, I'll give you some activities and challenges to practice the concepts you've just seen.
Please note that all the code written in this course will be in both Python and C++, so you can decide to learn ROS with those 2 languages, or just one of them.
Start learning today and create amazing robotics applications with ROS! After installing ROS on an Ubuntu operating system, you will learn the following key ROS concepts: NodesTopicsServicesMsg and Srv definitionsParametersLaunch FilesAnd much more! By mastering those concepts, you will be 100% ready to launch any other robotics application and build entire software from scratch using the robot operating system.
You will also learn how to: Debug your program Use command line tools for each key concept Build your application Set up and manage your project structure correctly And how I want it to be developed great (not just good, because good is not good enough) and scalable robotic applications, I will share with you the best practices that I have learned from my own experience.
UPDATE: Note: This course is aimed at the first version of ROS, or "ROS1".
This is not a ROS2 course-> Should you learn ROS1 or ROS2? Well, ROS2 is the future of ROS, that's for sure.
But for now, ROS1 is much more stable and mature than ROS2. Almost all serious community projects and packages target ROS1, and many of them lack ROS2. You still have a few years before ROS2 overtakes ROS1. Learning ROS1 will allow you to work on existing projects today and get all the features available.
Also, many companies are still working with ROS1, so if you want to get a job soon, that's the way to go.
Finally, once you've got the basics down with ROS1 and a few projects under your belt, switching to ROS2 won't really be that hard.
Most of the concepts are identical for the 2 versions.
The best option would be to learn ROS1, ANDROS2. So you can work with any existing ROS project and also work with the new framework.
