About this event

Event Description:

Join us for an in-depth ROS2 Workshop designed to introduce you to the core concepts of Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) —the leading open-source framework for building and controlling robots. This workshop is tailored for beginners and robotics enthusiasts eager to explore the world of autonomous systems and robot development.


                            

Throughout the session, you will:

- Learn the basics of ROS2 nodes, topics, services, and packages.

- Understand how to set up a ROS2 environment on your computer.

- Gain hands-on experience working with Gazebo Sim to simulate a robot in a virtual environment.

- Practice controlling a robot and understanding sensor data integration.

- Explore how ROS2 is transforming the future of robotics and automation.

Why Attend?

This workshop is a perfect starting point if you’re curious about robotics, want to develop real-world projects, or plan to work with ROS2 in the future. You’ll leave with practical skills and knowledge to start building your own robot applications.

Who Should Join?

- University students interested in robotics and programming.

- Developers curious about ROS2 and robot simulation.

- Beginners with little or no experience in robotics.

Requirements:

-Bring your laptop (preferably with Ubuntu 22.04 installed either as a virtual machine (VM) or installed alongside Windows (dual boot).

- No prior experience with ROS2 is required, but basic programming knowledge with C++ or Python is helpful.

Get ready to build the future—one robot at a time!
