Robotics and ROS 2 - Learn by Doing! Manipulators (Udemy.com)

One of the best courses on Udemy. The instructor has exceptional knowledge of mathematics, physics, and ROS 2 architecture. I really loved the way he explained the concepts, making them easy to understand and follow. The course is definitely worth buying, and I'm looking forward to more such courses to further enhance my skills.

The course will bombard you with everything ROS has. I don't understand to code I am writing; plus explanations doesn't help me understand what I am doing. The couse descripion said it is for a beginers; in my case, I knew nothing about ROS2. I have difficulties to understand the structure of the project.Appearently, this is not a place to start ROS.

The course material has not been updated to be compatible with ROS 2 Jazzy. You will run into issues from Chapter 5 onwards where the Gazebo simulation cannot be controlled by the control system that's created in the course. After running into issues typing up the code exactly as described in the lectures, I cloned the instructor's GitHub repo which is meant to be the most up-to-date version and could not this control system to even start up. If you're using ROS 2 Jazzy or a newer version of ROS 2, you will spend a lot of time troubleshooting code issues. Assignments don't have solution videos or explanations either so you're left wondering how the instructor came up with his solutions when the URLs provided in the assignment instructions don't have a connection to the instructor's solution.

Another fantastic course from Antonio! His deep expertise in robotics shines through once again, offering a clear and practical approach to mastering robot manipulators. The course strikes a perfect balance between theory and hands on implementation, guiding learners through kinematics, control algorithms, and ROS2 integration. Antonio’s explanations are concise yet thorough, the labs and coding exercises were especially valuable for building confidence in developing and testing manipulator motion. Highly recommended for anyone serious about advancing their robotics skills!

This is one of the best ROS2 courses I've done so far! The ROS2 for Beginners courses are also very good, but while those ones provide a more comprehensive base in ROS2, this one is much better in terms of applied/ specific learning. I think this course could benefit from assignments and follow up lectures like the ROS2 for Beginners course has, but if your aim is to control a robotic arm, you will not find a better course than this one! My goal was to implement ROS2's kinematics on a six axis arm I designed and run using GRBL, and this gave me the tools I need to do exactly that. Thank you very much, Antonio!

This was my third course on Udemy taught by Antonio and I have learned a lot in each course and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Everything in each course is not intuitive, but, if you apply yourself, everything works in the end. And, Antonio has been very supportive in the Q&A when I was truly stuck. I highly recommend this course! I really enjoy the Learn by Doing nature of the courses and I am looking forward to the next courses in the self-driving series.

Was god, to the point. Many times it was coding on the go. I think it is better (especially if examples are from standard documentation from ROS2) then show the code and what it does, rather than typing and doing commentary. Otherwise the course was gr8. Thanks. I have enrolled for the Odometry course also.

I have found it to be an exceptional learning experience. The course is meticulously structured, gradually building up from fundamental concepts to more advanced topics like kinematics, Euler angles, and quaternions. Each lecture is clear and concise, with practical examples that reinforce the theoretical knowledge. The visual aids and whiteboard explanations significantly enhance understanding, making complex concepts accessible. The hands-on approach keeps the learning process engaging and interactive. Overall, this course is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge in robotics and ROS 2, and I highly recommend it to aspiring roboticists.

this lecture covers topic, service, and action; besides it contains .cpp, .py, and .hpp. As a bonus, it contains Flask interface with Alexa and Arduino code. This lecture itself basically trains beginners to the pre-robot engineers who seek for entry position level in robot industry although they would have to go over and over this lecture until they understand every line of the code and be able to regenerate this entire code without looking at the code :P

I have completed 5 different ROS courses in Udemy. They were beneficial. However, I have never seen a lecture that explains the entire pipeline with that much detail. Visual materials and theory classes were excellent, each package and code was written from scratch. It is clear that Antonio spent so much time to create this lecture. I highly suggest this course to other students.
