TF ROS2 Course - Python
To finally understand TF in ROS2
Course Summary
Imagine the following scenario: you have a robot drone with a camera that has to follow another subject to fil it correctly. How do you tell the robot where to point the camera? How to follow the subject and at which distance? And all of this dynamically? What is the distance from the camera to the subject? Is the orientation okay?
ROS2 TFs handle this relation between the different parts (frames) of a robot.
In this TF ROS2 course, you will be able to understand how TF works by practicing in several hands-on exercises
