Short Course: ROS for Industrial Robots

Course Information

Ever wanted to build a robot? Developing a robot used to involve gathering a host of complicated tools. Now, with the ROS (Robot Operating System) special framework, this is done for you so programming your own real-world robot is more accessible than ever.

Learning Outcomes

This three-day course offers you an understanding of Robot Operation System (ROS) as a software integration tool for implementation of an industrial robot workcell. ROS is an open source platform that allows integration of software packages via a messaging framework and offers fundamental building blocks for developing robot applications. You will learn how to integrate robot control packages and simulate an industrial robot to carry out a pick-and-place operation.
