Objectives and Outcomes

Course Objectives

  • This course aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of Robotic Operating System (ROS2) and Gazebo simulation, including key concepts such as nodes, topics, services, and actions, as well as the development of ROS2 packages.
  • This course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to apply ROS2 to mobile and industrial robots, including navigation, SLAM, robot arm control, perception, and communication.
  • This course aims to provide students with hands-on experience working with ROS2 and Gazebo, allowing them to design, implement, and test robotic applications using these tools.

Course Outcomes

After completing this course, students will be able to

CO1

Program ROS2 packages and utilize ROS2 concepts such as nodes, topics, services, and actions to control, perceive, and communicate with mobile and industrial robots.

CO2

Apply ROS2 to mobile robots to navigate, use SLAM, and control them effectively.

CO3

Apply ROS2 to industrial robots to control robotic arms and perform real world tasks within a simulation environment.

CO4
