RWTH Certificate Course Robot Operating System (ROS)
Fundamentals of Industrial Robot Navigation
Learn the basics of robot motion and the Robot Operating System (ROS). Based on fundamental communication concepts with robots, you will understand how they can be localized and navigated autonomously in a logistics scenario.
Course Contents
▶ Localization, mapping and motion planning with ROS ▶ Integrating ROS into industrial application fields ▶ Application of local and global path planning and collision avoidance ▶ Utilization in flexible material flow systems with the Robot Operating System (ROS) ▶ Environmental perception of mobile robot systems with various sensor technologies
Group of Participants You are an engineer and/or computer scientist from the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science.
Motivation The Robot Operating System (ROS) has gained considerable influence in research and product development. It contains many open source implementations of common robotic functionalities and algorithms in areas such as perception, knowledge representation, planning and control. With applications ranging from mobile and stationary robotics to underwater robotics and flying drones, there are virtually no limits to the software's range of applications.
Methodology The course takes place on five consecutive days and ends with an exam. Course content is developed and consolidated in interactive lectures, group work, presentations and case studies.
