Training Curriculum

Chapter 1 - Set Up the Navigation System for a Mobile Manipulator

  • Create a map of an environment
  • Robot Localization
  • Path planning with obstacle avoidance
  • Send a sequence of waypoints and execute those movements

Hands-on challenge: Make an RB-KAIROS+ autonomously navigate in an indoor environment.

Chapter 2 - Moving the Arm

  • Configure MoveIt for your robot
  • Program the moveit_commander to send trajectories to the robot arm

Hands-on challenge: Program the arm to reach any location in its action space.

Chapter 3 - Do Motion Planning Programmatically

After completing this chapter, you can create a Python program that performs motion planning on your robot

Chapter 4 - Grasping the Object

  • Object detection
  • Pick an object
  • Add perception to avoid obstacles
  • Visualize the detections in RVIZ
  • Create a pick & place task

Hands-on challenge: Make the arm grasp objects from the shelf while avoiding obstacles.

Chapter 5 - Use FlexBe to Program the Robot Behavior

  • Create FlexBe states
  • Create an entire state machine that communicates with the robot

Hands-on challenge: Define the behavior of the warehouse robot for a pick & place application.

Chapter 6 - Design Web Interfaces for ROS robots

We will show you how to create a web interface for the robot. You will be able to see the navigation map and the robot camera, control the robot through a web joystick and start-stop the pick & place algorithm.

  • Set up the server in the robot
  • Create and run a web page that shows relevant robot information
  • HTML and CSS on the web page
  • Set up a JavaScript framework
  • Understand the lifecycle of the web page
  • Add an online Joystick to your web page
  • Show the robot’s cameras on the page
  • Show your custom map on the page

Hands-on challenge: Create a web interface for non-experts to command the robot, and know its status.

Chapter 7 - Real Robot Project: Make a Full Manipulator Application to Autonomously Clean a Space

Throughout this training, you will build a complete robot app for mobile manipulators that look at and serve objects from shelves in a warehouse environment. The robot will to go to the shelf’s location, look for the object, grasp it, and bring it to the operator’s boxes.
