What you will learn in this Open Class

Simplifying Robotics Development and Deployment Containerization is transforming how we develop, test, and deploy robotics applications. Docker, a leading container platform, offers a streamlined way to package and run projects, ensuring consistent performance across different environments. By leveraging Docker with ROS 2, you can enhance your workflows, from development to deployment, making it easier to scale and collaborate in robotics projects. 

In this Open Class, you’ll learn how to use Docker for ROS 2, enabling you to containerize and run your robotics projects efficiently.

You will learn:

• Introduction to Docker and containerization for robotics
• Running ROS 2 projects as Docker containers for portability and scalability
• Packaging an existing ROS 2 package as a Docker container
• Best practices for managing and optimizing containerized ROS 2 environments
• Hands-on experience in creating Dockerized workflows for real-world robotics projects

Throughout the class, you’ll apply these skills to work with ROS 2 packages in Docker, empowering you to simplify and enhance your robotics development process.
