Course Summary

In this hands-on course, you'll go step by step through building your very first ROS2-based robot. You'll learn how to design the physical structure, wire up motors and batteries, set up the onboard computer, and bring everything together using the ROS2 framework. You'll also explore LiDAR, camera integration, URDF modeling, simulation, and even create custom 3D-printed upgrades to enhance your robot.
