Hi ROS Community,

Join our next ROS Developers Open Class to learn about Robot Perception, the key techniques that enable robots to understand their environment using sensors like cameras and lasers within the ROS 2 framework.

In the upcoming open class, you’ll gain insights into Robot Perception through a practical demonstration using a real robot setup - Botbox, where you’ll implement a wall-detection script utilizing laser sensors.

This free class welcomes everyone and includes a practical ROS project with code and simulation. Alberto Ezquerro, a skilled robotics developer and head of robotics education at The Construct, will guide this live session.

What you’ll learn:

  • Introduction to Robot Perception: Understand what sensors are and how they enable robots to perceive their surroundings.
  • Visualizing Laser Sensor Data: Learn how to interpret and visualize data from a laser sensor.
  • Integration with ROS 2: Master the basics of accessing laser data and building a simple application to detect walls.

The robot we’ll use in this class:

Simulated & Real BotBox

I attended this class because it included “building a simple application to detect walls.”

For the last two years, I have been hoping someone in the ROS community had already coded a “wall detector”, “doorway detector”, and “corner detector”. The simplistic wall detector of the class will give me some ideas until I discover someone has already built these basic mobile robot functionalities.
