Design and implement problem-specific solutions for challenging CPS or robotic tasks

Modul »CPS-Series A3: Robot Operating Systems (ROS) for industrial Robots«

This module introduces the ROS middleware and its tools for developing modern robot systems. The module covers the general structure of ROS and the usage of its publish-subscribe, service and action-server concepts. Furthermore, a short introduction of the robot simulation GAZEBO is given. Within hands-on-sessions, the participants will integrate the key components of a mobile robot (Hardware, Sensory as well as Localization, Mapping and Motion Planning Algorithms) in ROS.
