Course Headline: 🧭 "Mobile Robot Localization, Navigation, and Motion Planning with Robot Operating System 2"


Course Description:

Embark on a journey to master the intricacies of robotics with our comprehensive online course. Dive into the world of ROS2, where you'll learn how to create a simulated maze-solving robot using Python and computer vision. This course is meticulously designed for those eager to understand the Maze Solving behavior of robots in a simulation environment.

Key Focus:

  • Integration of Computer Vision: We'll explore how to integrate important robotics algorithms for motion planning, with a special emphasis on computer vision techniques.
  • Differential Drive Robot with Caster Wheel: You'll work with a Differential Drive Robot equipped with a caster wheel, learning to manipulate and control it from scratch.
  • Custom Robot Creation: Start by creating your own robot design using Blender, the 3D modeling software, before integrating it into ROS2 simulations.

Course Structure:

  1. Custom Robot Creation
  2. Gazebo and Rviz Integration
  3. Localization
  4. Navigation
  5. Path Planning

Every component of the robot, from its creation to the last computer vision Node, will be constructed and understood step by step. We'll adhere to Python's Object-Oriented Programming best practices for robust development.
