Lessons in Robotics: Lesson 1, What is ROS?
Details
Course Title: Introduction to Robotics with ROS2
Course Description:
Welcome to the Introduction to Robotics course using ROS2, designed for beginners interested in entering the exciting field of robotics programming and development. This course offers a hands-on approach to learning the foundational concepts of robotics through the ROS2 framework, the latest version of the popular Robot Operating System (ROS).
Lesson 1: Introduction to ROS2
Overview:
In the first lesson, students will be introduced to ROS2, the upgraded version of the robotics middleware ROS. This session will cover the basics of ROS, including its architecture and core functionalities, while highlighting the enhancements and differences between ROS1 and ROS2. The lesson aims to provide students with a solid understanding of why ROS2 is preferred in modern robotics applications.
Key Objectives:
- Understand the fundamental concepts of ROS and its role in robotics.
- Explore the key differences and improvements in ROS2 compared to ROS1, focusing on real-time processing capabilities, improved security features, and a more modular architecture.
- Introduction to the use of ROS2 for creating and managing robotic projects.
Hands-On Project: Building a TurtleBot
The practical component of this lesson involves setting up a TurtleBot simulation. Students will apply their learning to build a simple TurtleBot, a low-cost, personal robot kit powered by ROS2. This project will serve as an introduction to robot simulation, providing students with the opportunity to interact with ROS2's tools and libraries firsthand.
By the end of this lesson, students will have a foundational understanding of ROS2 and hands-on experience with setting up a basic robotic simulation, setting the stage for more complex projects and concepts in future classes.
