C++ Robotics Developer Course - Using ROS in C++

Course Overview

What does this course tell? (Please note that the following overview content is from the original platform) 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 IntroductionEnvironment SetupROS OverviewUsing ROS in C++Robotics SimulationCourse OutroSection 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. We considered the value of this course from many aspects, and finally summarized it for you from two aspects: skills and knowledge, and the people who benefit from it: (Please note that our content is optimized through artificial intelligence tools and carefully reviewed by our editorial staff.)
