ROS2 Manipulation Basics Course - Python

Learn the ROS 2 manipulation essentials. Learn how to use MoveIt in ROS 2 and use perception for grasping.

ROS2 Manipulation Basics course

Course Summary

With ROS2 quickly becoming the standard for robotics and overcoming ROS1, it’s time to learn how to work with a robot arm in ROS2 systems. But it’s also essential to understand the current way of working because, in the short term, you will have to work with hybrid systems that use both ROS1 and ROS2. This is especially true in hardware ROS-enabled systems, which won’t be updated to ROS2 at least in a few years or even never if they are already in production and public use.

This course teaches the basics of having a robot arm up and running, moving around, and grasping objects using perception ROS 2.
