Course Overview
Introduction
This unit presents the goal and subjects you will learn in this course. In addition, it briefly introduces Gazebo Classic, Ignition Gazebo and Gazebo Sim and the motivation for using this important simulator for the robotics community.
Build a robot
This unit is about creating robots for Gazebo simulations using the URDF language. First, you will go through the necessary elements of URDF to achieve the creation of the robots.
Connect to ROS2
This unit covers ROS2-Gazebo integration, system interaction, and using plugins for robot control in simulations.
Build a World
This unit presents concepts around creating a new world in Gazebo. You will learn to create one from scratch and put different models, ground, animated objects, and actors.
Final Project
An opportunity to apply everything you have learned so far!
