What's This Course About

Robot Operating System (ROS) Fundamentals teaches you how to build and program robots using ROS, the industry-standard open-source framework for robot software. ROS provides the tools, libraries and conventions that let robotics developers connect sensors, motors, perception and planning into working robotic systems, and is used in research, manufacturing, logistics and autonomous vehicles. The course is designed for engineers, developers, students and technical professionals with basic programming knowledge who want a practical introduction to robotics software.

You will start by getting started with ROS, understanding its architecture, installing and setting up a workspace, and using command-line tools to explore a running robot system. Next you will learn ROS nodes, topics and messages, writing publisher and subscriber nodes in Python, and using services, actions and parameters so different parts of a robot can communicate. You will then cover robot modelling, sensors and simulation, describing a robot with URDF, visualising it in RViz and simulating sensors such as cameras and lidar in Gazebo.

The final topic covers navigation, motion and robot applications, including transforms, mapping, localisation, path planning and autonomous navigation, and how to bring these together into a practical robot application. Every topic is hands-on in simulation, so you can experiment safely without expensive hardware. By the end, you will understand how ROS-based robots work and be able to develop, simulate and test your own robot software with confidence.
