Learn Open-RMF in 3 days with this training

💭  THE PROBLEM: As the number of robots grows, it is challenging to coordinate & manage them in shared spaces

💡 THE SOLUTION: Use Open-RMF: An open-source fleet management system

 👨‍💻 THE PLAN: Learn how to build robot fleet systems and integrate Open-RMF for robot fleet management from the ground up with our hands-on training. Our curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including:

  • Vital ROS2 Humble knowledge
  • Generates RMF-enabled Gazebo simulations
  • ROS2 navigation
  • Setting up a basic RMF system for multiple robot fleets
  • Basic RMF task settings: go to a location, pick & deliver objects, and charge when the battery is low.
  • Create custom robot fleet adapters.
  • Use RMF API to define advanced tasks and behaviors.
  • Docking the robots in RMF for battery charging
  • Set up cleaning procedures in the RMF
  • Integrate human-operated stations with RMF
  • Integrate doors and lifts in RMF
  • Integrate robotic arms and other processing workstations in RMF.

You will have the opportunity to work with real robots in our state-of-the-art lab, and get hands-on experience with Open-RMF. 

Expert instruction from industry professionals
