Course Description
You have learned ROS 2 basics and want to create an embedded application for a robot?
Or maybe you already got a Raspberry Pi and have no idea how to run ROS 2 on it?
In this course, you will create a fully distributed ROS 2 application between a Raspberry Pi, your computer, and even an Arduino board. At the end of the course you will be able to adapt this knowledge to your own projects.
-- Why this course?
ROS 2 is a powerful robotics framework that you can use to bootstrap software for a new robot in no time.
Raspberry Pi is a tiny and relatively inexpensive board that you can easily embed on a robot, and it makes it easy to connect to different hardware components.
So, why not use the two together? That’s a perfect combo: running ROS 2 directly inside a robot, on a tiny computer that has direct access to hardware.
I have personally done that in the robotics startup I cofunded in the past. We produced a fully working 6 axis robotic arm, powered by ROS 2 running on a Raspberry Pi. If we could create (and sell!) such a robot, then imagine what you can achieve.
With this course I want to share my practical knowledge with you, so you can quickly get started with ROS 2 on a Raspberry Pi, and understand the different specificities so you can properly design your own applications for your own projects.
-- How do I teach?
If you’ve taken other ROS 2 courses from me you know that I’m not here to waste your time.
My teaching method is quite simple:
Step by step
Going to the point
Learn while doing
Also I strongly focus on the “why” behind what you learn. The goal is not just to make you blindly repeat some steps, but to understand why those steps matter.
And don’t take my word for it - here are some reviews from fellow students/researchers/engineers/teachers who took my ROS 2 courses on Udemy:
“Best course on ROS2 I’ve taken! Other courses (different sites/platforms) made it confusing but this course makes it so clear and easy to understand while letting you try on your own. I am definitely learning a lot in a painless and simple way. I should have gotten this course from the beginning.” - Miguel Martinez G.
“Overall very satisfied. I’ve a strong background in programming, but at a higher level (web mostly) and the elegant, fluent and clean approach of this course has leveraged my introduction to the ROS environment in a short amount of time, without the struggle of going through a lot of documentation” - Devis D.
“This is the best course in ROS2 I’ve ever seen” - Aleksandar K.
“Great course content, straight to the point and very easy to follow” - Kevin M.
-- What will you do and learn in the course?
This course is 100% hands-on. You need to have some ROS 2 basics to get started, but that’s it. From that, we will:
Install Ubuntu Server and ROS 2 on a Raspberry Pi
Set up a remove development environment with VS Code
Write, build, and run nodes on the Raspberry Pi
Create a fully distributed ROS 2 app between your computer and your Raspberry Pi
Add an Arduino board to the application and get closer to the hardware
Each section is built on top of the previous ones, and you will reinforce what you’ve learned with extra challenges to practice more.
So, to create amazing projects with ROS 2 and Raspberry Pi, wait no more and enroll in the course today!
You don’t take any risk as you get a 30-day money back guarantee if you’re not fully satisfied - no questions asked.
See you in the course!
Note - this course is not for you if:
You have never worked with ROS 2 before. You will need ROS 2 basics to understand this course.

Hi, I’m Edouard. I am a software engineer and robotics teacher. I'm also the author of the "ROS 2 from Scratch" book.
I really enjoy teaching new technologies to people, and making complex stuff easy to understand. My method is simple, and contains only 3 words : Step By Step. I know how hard it can be to learn a new topic and just be lost in an ocean of information, without knowing what to do. In my courses, I make sure that you learn one step at a time, through practicing, and that you also learn the best practices.
I am passionate about robotics. I found that it’s amazing how many cool projects you can do with a robot, when you have the required programming knowledge!
I also co-founded a robotics startup in 2016, building a complete robotic arm, from scratch, with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu and ROS. Thus, I am aware of things that work and things that don’t work, thanks to a lot of practice. This will save you precious time and make you progress faster.
