Skill Learning Sessions:

1. Programming ROS 2 with RUST

This hands-on session will teach you how to simplify robotics programming with RUST. Learn to create a full ROS 2 program in RUST, control a robot to navigate and avoid obstacles.

Speaker: Júlia Marsal Perendreu, Robotics Engineer Consultant | Robotics & Industrial Engineer | ROS developer

2. ROS 2 Gazebo Custom Plugins

This hands-on session will show you how to harness the power of Gazebo plugins. Learn to build a simulated conveyor belt with custom behavior.

Speaker: Shantanu Parab, Teaching Assistant at University of Maryland

3. ROS 2 with a Tiny Quadcopter

This hands-on session will teach you how to control quadcopters using ROS 2. Learn to add velocity control, sensors, and create a simple map of the environment.

Find Out:

How to control quadcopters with ROS 2 teleop
How to add and read sensors in ROS 2
How to simulate safely before real-world testing

Speaker: Kimberly McGuire, Robotics Engineer at Bitcraze AB

4. State Estimation with Kalman Filters in ROS 2

We will learn how to improve odometry using a Kalman Filter. We will utilize the robot_localization package to enhance odometry accuracy. We will use a robot with two sources of odometry: wheel encoders and a scan matcher. After observing how both have errors, we will apply the Kalman Filter to improve the odometry by fusing the two sources of odometry into a single one.

Speaker: Thisas Ranhiru Samaraweera, Electrical Engineering Student

5. Robot Arm Motion Planning with Pyroboplan

Sebastian has created a Python tool to simplify understanding, learning, and teaching of robot arm planning. This hands-on session we will learn how to use Pyroboplan to grasp the fundamentals of arm planning by easily visualizing trajectories, kinematics, collisions, and Cartesian paths.

Speaker: Sebastian Castro, Robotics Engineer and Educator
