OVERVIEW
With the arrival of Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2), it is essential to learn how to make your robot autonomously navigate with Nav2. The ROS 2 Navigation Stack (Nav2) is a collection of packages that you can use to move your robot from point A to point B safely and can be applied in many real-world robotic applications, such as warehouses, restaurants, hospitals, hotel room service, and much more.
In this 3-day training, you will learn how to set up and configure the ROS2 Navigation Stack for any robot (SLAM + Path Planning + Obstacle Avoidance) and you will create an application that interacts with Nav2.
A ROS TRAINING THAT’S HIGHLY PRACTICAL, WITH SUPPORT
This course is a live online training, where we teach you in real-time, step-by-step. You will learn on an online IDE website, along with explanatory notebooks and robotic simulations, and practice a lot with simulated robots and with our remote real warehouse robots.
WHAT YOU GET
- Guidance from experienced ROS developers
- Learn how to use ROS2 with both Python & C++
- Learn best practices for ROS2 development
- Practice a lot with real robots
- Certificate
PRACTICE WITH ROBOTS
You will be using the following real robot & simulated robots throughout the training:
- Connect to a real RB-1 BASE mobile robot remotely
- RB-1 BASE simulation
- MP-400 simulation
TRAINING CURRICULUM
See below a list of topics covered in this training. Lessons are practical, and you will practice on an online IDE website.
Session #1: SLAM (Mapping + Localization + Path Planning+ Obstacle Avoidance)
Session #2: Behaviors + Plugins + Lifecycle Manager
Session #3: Nav2 Application (create an application that interacts with Nav2)

Today is the last day for early bird registration for the ROS2 Navigation Training! 
: “Howdy, I’m RB-1 BASE, the boss at the Unattended Warehouse Robot Lab. Students can remotely program me from anywhere in the world to learn & practice ROS! Now I’m autonomously putting the shelves back in place for the next student to practice:wink:
