Day 2: Create our first robot

Video Summary

Welcome to Day 2 of your ROS2 mini-course! Today, we will create our first robot by building a URDF (Unified Robot Description Format) model. URDF is an XML format used in ROS to describe all elements of a robot.

Day 3: Simulate our robot in Gazebo

Video Summary

Welcome to Day 3 of your ROS2 mini-course! Today, we will simulate our first robot in Gazebo, a powerful robot simulation tool. We'll integrate our URDF model into Gazebo and run a simple simulation to see our robot in action.

Day 4: What does our robot see? Using RViz2

Video Summary

Welcome to Day 4 of your ROS2 mini-course! Today, we will focus on visualizing sensor data from our robot using RViz2. This involves adding a sensor to our URDF model, launching the robot in Gazebo, and then visualizing the sensor data in RViz2.

Day 5: Navigate our robot

Video Summary

Today's the day we put everything we've learned to the test and get our robot moving! Buckle up, because we'll be diving into the exciting world of ROS2 navigation.
