Course
ROS Navigation In 5 Days Python
Learn how to make your robot navigate autonomously by using the ROS Navigation Stack
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
Simulation robots used in this course
Husky wheeled robot; TurtleBot wheeled robot; Summit XL Robot
