beginnerLearn ROS 2 from absolute zero. Understand what ROS 2 is, why robots need it, and how its building blocks — nodes, topics, services, parameters, and actions — fit together. By the end you'll install ROS 2, drive a simulated robot, and build your own package. No prior robotics experience required. What you'll be able to do after this course: - Explain what ROS 2 is and why it beats a single monolithic script - Install ROS 2 on Ubuntu, WSL, Docker, or a VM - Run and inspect nodes, topics, services, parameters, and actions - Control a simulated robot (turtlesim) entirely from the command line - Create, build, and source your own ROS 2 workspace and package
Understand what ROS 2 actually is, why intelligent robots need it, the DDS middleware underneath it, and how to install it on any operating system. You'll finish by running your very first ROS 2 program.
