Preparatory video lectures
Ahead of the workshop, participants will receive access to six video lectures covering the following core topics: ROS2 basics, sensors, odometry, mapping, localization, and path planning. These materials provide a solid theoretical foundation and ensure that attendees are well prepared for the practical sessions.
Hands-on workshop
During the two-day in-person training, participants will work in small groups with TurtleBot3 robots. Under close guidance, they will learn how to:
- Set up ROS2 Lyrical on Ubuntu 26.04
- Teleoperate the robot and process sensor data
- Create and use custom ROS2 nodes in Python
- Perform mapping and localization in a maze environment
- Implement autonomous navigation, enabling the robot to move from a start position to a defined goal using path-planning algorithms
