DAY 1 of ROS 2 Industrial Ready Training: Basic ROS2 Course - Python
Learn the main ROS2 subjects required for Industrial robots
Course Summary
ROS 2 is the new standard framework for robots. This course will teach you the main concepts to program robots with ROS 2, as well as some advanced concepts required for optimized ROS2 programs (node composition and executors and callbacks)
What you will learn
In this course you are going to learn: 1. How to create ROS 2 programs to control robots using topics, services and action servers 2. How to use Executors and Callback Groups 3. What is node composition and how to use it (in C++)
