Training Overview
With ROS2 quickly becoming the standard (for robotics) and overcoming ROS1, it’s time to learn how to program a robot with ROS2. This intensive online training offers a practical ROS2 learning experience, where you will learn how to create basic programs in ROS2.
What you’ll learn
- How to create packages, nodes, topics, services, and actions in ROS2
- Management of the new Colcon universal building system
- Topic publishers and subscribers in ROS2 Python
- Management of nodes in ROS2: life cycle, executors and callback groups
- Basic use of ROS1-Bridge to communicate ROS2 systems with ROS1 systems.
- Hybrid applications with ROS1 and ROS2
- Use of debugging tools in ROS2
How you’ll learn
Students learn through real-time ROS expert-led explanations, along with explanatory notebooks and robotic simulations. The students will complete the exercises with simulated robots, working with the instructor. Each student is assigned their own simulated robots.
Total time: 22 hours
Every day from 9 AM to 6 PM

- Understand the setup.py file for source installation for ROS2 python based packages
- Understand how ROS2 nodes work.
- Use environmental ROS2 variables
-
ROS2 Topics:
- Learn about all the ROS2 Topic basic commands, like listing running topics and message types.
- Publish a ROS2 topic message through the command line
- Create a ROS2 topic publisher and ROS2 topic subscriber in python.
- Learn how to create a custom ROS2 topic and use it in a python script.

-
Managing Nodes:
- Learn about the problem of using multiple callbacks in the same python script.
- Learn how CallBack groups and multithreading can solve those issues.
- Create multiple publishers, subscriber python ROS2 script, that uses multithreading and callback groups to manage all the callbacks and threads to make the robot have updated values of the laser and odometry to decide how to avoid an obstacle.
-
Debugging ROS2 programs

- Learn how to generate a PDF with the TF tree structure of the current ROS2 robot-description system.
- Learn about ROS2Doctor debugging tool command, and how it can help you detect unused topics, old packages, and other system data like the RMW MIDDLEWARE used Topics list, and network setup.
-
Understanding DDS in ROS2
- Learn about the reasons behind using DDS in ROS2 instead of the ROS1 TCP.
- Learn the basic morphology and features of the default RMW MIDDLEWARE DDS used CycloneDDS.
- Learn about the three supported DDS implementations in Galactic.
- Learn how to change the DDS used to then execute scripts using that DDS implementation.
- Learn about what is the ROS2 Daemon and what’s its relation with DDS.
- Learn about the need for Quality of Services (QoS) systems in ROS2.
- Learn how to start publishers and subscribers with different QoS and their compatibility.
- How to change QoS in ROSbags.
