ROS Basics: Program Robots! (Udemy.com)

Relied heavily on help from MS Copilot in installing & configuring older VM distro & troubleshooting lessons. The only thing we couldn't match was varying versions of rqt graph. However, I did enjoy using bag files & look forward to the ROS2 equivalent in some of the courses I purchased with fancier, more sophisticated robots!!!

Perhaps more advanced than a "Basic" course should be. I am glad I had some python programming experience, if I had not I would not have been able to follow without an immense about of figuring stuff out. As it was, it was still difficult due to my limited programming experience.

It is very helpful for absolute beginner. ROS is important framework for robotics. Be sure to implement the stuff along with Instructor. You can also make persistent bootable usb for ubuntu and install ros on it. Little bit of space crunch, with 8gb one for full desktop mode of ROS. Works nontheless but will be better if you use 16gb one.

A very concise and rapid introduction to the basis of ROS including practical working examples. The course doesn't have any pre-requisites and covers even the installation etc required. Overall, it is self-contained. I'd have preferred to have some more conceptual content including, like the ROS architecture and types. Also a demo or two or larger-scale ROS networks in operation (even if it increases the duration of the course) would have been very helpful.

A really good guide for the installation and creation of the workspace and packages, it would be nice to include a real world example using something like ROS development studio. Sometimes it wasn't comfortable to stop the video because he writes commands really fast. I'd recommend this course to any person who wants to learn the basics to program robots with ROS

The course gives the basic concepts of ROS fundamentals in order to get familiar with the ROS environment: ros commands, make ros node let, compile and run services, communication between services. It would be nice thought to add some more practical applications and give more details on the simulation environment.

This was a great course. Like others have mentioned I too found myself going back 15 seconds over and over. I had to do this to see the code and commands the instructor was typing. On one hand this pace helps breeze through a refresher when you have already learned the topic but the first time through is difficult. 4 minutes of instruction can take 30 minutes or even an hour or more to fully complete the examples by the time you go back over and over. After i completed the examples I found myself watching each instruction again to understand the bits and pieces of information that he shared after I was able to capture the commands and code. Overall it was slightly frustrating having to go back but I would sign up for another course if he had one. It was ell organized and he was clear and easy to understand (most of the time).

There is a tremendous amount of material in very little time! Thank goodness for the Pause and 15 second rewind. I would find it helpful if there was a transcript of the commands so that I would not need to rewind so often. Some commands are viable for only a few moments. One must be fast on the Pause. Thank you, I Loved the Course!

By far the best beginner course I have ever stumbled upon. First time someone answers all your beginner questions before you ask and answers them simply and on an elegant example. Respect!

This course gives a good start to learning ROS. It gets you setup running ROS in a VM and teaches you many of the ROS fundamentals. You also get to create Python scripts to use within ROS such as Publish and Subscribe scripts, among others. I learned and a lot! Please make a second course so I can continue to learn more ROS.
