Get ROS2 Industrial Ready: ROS2 Basics + ROS2 Nav2 + Manipulation with Movelt2

- Where: Barcelona, Spain - When: September 20, 2021 → September 24, 2021 - Registration website: https://www.theconstructsim.com/ros2-onsite-training/ - Limited to 20 Spots

Dear Roboticists,

Understanding how ROS2 works is becoming a MUST.

ROS2 is expected to fully replace ROS1 by 2023. The Galactic distribution released in May 2021 shows ROS2 is very mature and ready for real-world applications.

In this five-day ROS2 training, learn how to program robots with ROS 2 Galactic, including navigation and grasping.

Participants will practice with robot simulations and then with real robots to test their programs live. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

- Creation of ROS2 packages - Management of the new Colcon universal building system - Topic publishers and subscribers in ROS2 Python - Nodes management: life cycle, executors and callback groups - Services and actions - Hybrid application with ROS1 and ROS2 - Use of debugging tools in ROS2 - ROS2 Mapping - ROS2 Localization - ROS2 Path Planning - ROS2 + DDS - Create and configure a MoveIt2 package for a robotic arm - Perform ROS2 Motion Planning & Grasping

AT A GLANCE

Prerequisites

- Knowledge of Python Programming language - Basic understanding of Linux Ubuntu Operating System - Knowledge of ROS1 (recommended but not required)
