Object Detection with OpenCV for ROS 2 - ROS Developers OpenClass #191

Hi ROS Community,

Join our next ROS Developers Open Class to learn about Object detection, a key computer vision technique crucial in robotics as it enables robots to perceive and understand their environment by identifying objects around them, which is essential for tasks such as navigation, manipulation, object tracking, and safe operation.

We’ll explore how to implement object detection using OpenCV and ROS 2.

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 Object Detection: Understand the basics of how to implement object detection in ROS 2 with OpenCV
  • Practical Implementation: Step-by-step guidance on coding and setting up object detection on a Botbox robot

The robot we’ll use in this class:

Simulated & Real BotBox
