ROS2 for Beginners (ROS Foxy)

The ROS2 for Beginners course will take you from a complete beginner to a ROS2 developer. Learn to write scalable robotics applications. Usually, while teaching ROS2, authors often make comparisons with ROS1 but this does not help learners who don’t know ROS1.

Hence, this course has been created for learners to master ROS2 from scratch without any prior knowledge of Robot Operating Systems. You'll learn how to construct your code, debug applications, and monitor system activity while taking the course. This course is not for you if:

• You already are a ROS2 advanced or expert developer.

• You have never used Python or C++ before.

ROS2 For Beginners (ROS Foxy) Overview

The course has a step-by-step structure to help you learn all the important concepts needed in order to create ROS2 applications. At the end of the course, you’ll be confident enough to start your own Robot Operating System 2 application. You will gain practical knowledge of Robot Operating Systems. Here are the prominent concepts covered in this course:

• ROS2 Installation, Workspace, Packages,

• ROS2 Nodes

• ROS2 Topics

• ROS2 Services

• ROS2 Custom Messages

• ROS2 Parameters

• ROS2 Launch Files

You will get the chance to work on a comprehensive project utilizing the Turtlesim simulation towards the end of the course. This will enable you to apply all your learnings practically. Every module of the course is focused on one ROS2 key concept and for each concept, you’ll get:

• Description of the concept together with its context and the importance of learning it.

• "How to" videos with step-by-step instructions (for Python and Cpp).

• A practice exercise and a video with the complete solution.

• A summary of the module’s activities, along with a code download.
