Kursbeschreibung

This course gives an introduction to the Robot Operating System (ROS) including available tools that are commonly used in robotics. With the help of examples, the course provides a starting point for working with robots. The course covers how to create software including simulation, to interface sensors and actuators, and to integrate control algorithms.

- ROS architecture: Master, nodes, topics, messages, services, parameters and actions.
- Console commands: Navigating and analyzing the ROS system and the catkin workspace.
- Creating ROS packages: Structure, launch-files, and best practices.
- Simulating with ROS: robot models (URDF) and simulation environments.
- Working with visualizations and user interface tools.
- Introduction to ROS2.
