[ABOUT]

Understanding how ROS2 works is becoming a MUST.

ROS2 is expected to fully replace ROS1 by 2023. The Galactic distribution released in May 2021 shows ROS2 is very mature and ready for real-world applications.

In this five-day ROS2 training, learn how to program robots with ROS 2 Galactic, including navigation and grasping.

Participants will practice with robot simulations and then with real robots to test their programs live.
