Mastering Autonomous Mobile Robots with ROS 2

Build, Program, and Deploy Your Own Self-Driving Robot

Welcome to the future of robotics! This course is designed to take you from a curious developer to a skilled Robotics Software Engineer. Using ROS 2 (the industry-standard Robot Operating System), you will bridge the gap between code and physical movement by building a real autonomous machine.

Why This Course?

Our philosophy is simple: Learning is an Active Process. As Dale Carnegie said, “We learn by doing; only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind.” To ensure you master these concepts for your future career, every section follows a proven three-step framework:

Theoretical Foundations: Clear explanations of the “why” behind the technology.
Practical Examples: Quick, hands-on exercises to see the code in action.
Real-World Application: Implementing the functionality directly onto a robot.

Learning Objectives

Dual-Language Mastery: All lessons are taught in both Python and C++. Choose your favorite or master both to become a versatile developer.

Autonomous Navigation: Dive deep into the math and logic behind Localization, Mapping, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping).

Zero Hardware Barriers: While we focus on real robots, you can complete the entire course using high-fidelity PC simulations. No expensive hardware is required to start!

Requirements

You don't need to be a robotics expert to start. If you have the basics, we’ll handle the rest.
Basic Programming: Familiarity with either Python or C++.
OS Basics: Basic knowledge of Linux (Ubuntu).
No ROS Experience Required: We start from scratch with ROS 2.
No Theory Required: We explain the robotics math as we go.
No Hardware Required: A standard PC is all you need.

Target Audience

Enthusiasts & Makers: Anyone obsessed with self-driving tech and DIY robotics.
Software Developers: Coders looking to transition into the world of hardware and ROS 2.
Students & Engineers: Those wanting to build a professional-grade portfolio from scratch.
ROS Veterans: Developers looking to migrate their skills from ROS 1 to ROS 2.
Career Changers: Python or C++ beginners curious about the high-growth field of autonomous vehicles.
