Course Overview

Description

Navigation is one of the most essential tools in ROS. It allows mobile robots to move around autonomously. This is used in many robotics fields: logistic robots for warehouses, domestic robots that perform certain household tasks, entertainment robots, etc.

In ROS NAVIGATION IN 5 DAYS course, you will learn the key concepts involved in ROS Navigation, and how to use it in real robot projects.

Learning Objectives

  • Set up ROS Navigation Stack on a Robot
  • Build a map of the environment from zero
  • Perform Robot Localization
  • Autonomous Path Planning
  • Understand Simultaneous Localization and
    Mapping (SLAM)
  • Obstacle Avoidance
