​

Throughout the workshop, participants will work on various exercises and projects to reinforce their understanding of ROS and its advanced concepts. By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained practical skills and knowledge to develop advanced robotic applications using ROS.

​

Who Should Attend: This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in robotics and its advanced concepts. Participants should have basic knowledge of programming and Linux environment. It is ideal for robotics enthusiasts, researchers, engineers, and students looking to enhance their skills in ROS and advanced robotics.

Requirements: Participants are required to bring a laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 installed. They should also have some basic programming knowledge in Python or C++.

​

Duration: The workshop is designed to be a three-day intensive program, but the duration can be customized based on the specific needs of the participants.

​

Outcome: After attending this workshop, participants will have gained an advanced understanding of ROS and its use in developing complex robotic applications. They will be able to create ROS nodes, implement navigation and mapping, use computer vision and perception, and control robots using ROS. Participants will have the necessary skills to develop advanced robotic applications using ROS.
