Course Description

Learn how to use the Robot Operating System (ROS) platform which is used to program real world robotics. This course is designed for those who want to learn to program robots using one of the most widely used coding languages in industry: C++. The coding in this course is done in C++ using ROS Noetic on the Ubuntu 20.04 operating system.

This course will go over installation of ROS, how to develop code that uses the framework, and even go over simulation tools so you can make your own robot and control it in simulation, with code that can easily be ported to a real robotic system.

The course is broken into 6 main sections:

Course Introduction
Environment Setup
ROS Overview
Using ROS in C++
Robotics Simulation
Course Outro

Section 1 is a general introduction to the course.

In section 2 you will learn how to setup your computer to be able to run ROS. This includes utilizing the Ubuntu operating system, installing ROS, and introducing you to the code editors we will be using in this course.

In section 3 I will teach you at a high level what "tools" are included in the ROS framework, and what each of them do.

You will spend the majority of this course in section 4, learning how to implement all the various ROS tools in your very own C++ code.

Section 5 will touch on using the simulation and sensor data visualization tools ROS has to offer.

And lastly the course outro will go over what you can do once you have completed the course, as well as some frequently asked questions and a survey to help me improve the course.

So what are you waiting for? Let's get to programming, using the most widely used open source robotics platform, ROS.

Hey there, I'm Raymond Andrade.

I am a Robotic Systems Developer, specializing in software development for marine robotic systems. Besides working in the field of marine robotics, I was the project manager of the University of Hawaii Marine Robotics Research lab during my time there doing my undergraduate degree. There I spearheaded robotics projects such as the RobotX challenge, to marine robotics demonstrations in partnership with the US Navy and NATO allies.

In my courses I hope to provide a clear and aesthetically appealing approach to teaching. Searching the internet for relevant robotics content that is easy to understand can be tricky. Therefore I try to keep my courses as high a quality as possible, packed with one-on-one discussions, aesthetic animations, and walk through coding exercises.

I hope to help make robots more prevalent in everyday society. Hopefully together we can create robots everyone can benefit from.
