I have started diving into the world of robotics & decided to explore ROS2 since it is clearly becoming the new standard. I have followed a few tutorials here & there random videos — but I still feel such as I need something more structured with hands-on examples.
I want to find a beginner-friendly course or training path that explains the basics clearly & also includes some practical projects, maybe even with Gazebo or RViz. Ideally something that starts slow and builds up with real examples.
I came across a few tech courses online but most of them seemed to mix in other unrelated stuff such as generative ai training which is great, not what I am searching for in this case.
If you have got any solid suggestion, whether it is an online course, bootcamp or even a solid YouTube playlist, I want to hear about it.
I’m working through this Articulate Robotics mobile robot project now! Super helpful and fun.
It might be a little more demanding than other tutorials out there since its a full stack project (integrating hardware in there as well) but it’s been a great scafolding to start with. He has all of the launch files and URDFs built for you saving you a lot of de-bugging work (which I have first had experience trying to build a project on my own at first).
I think he also uses the ROS2 foxy distro? so there might be a couple discrepancies if you’re using Humble or some other distro but ChatGPT has been super helpful to trouble shoot!
Anyways…just my experience as a fellow noob
On a side note: it’s been really exciting getting exposed to ROS and the open source community. Not used to subcultures like these coming from MechE background.
