Course Objectives
The three days course offers participants an understanding on Robot Operation System (ROS) as a software integration tool for implementation of an industrial robot workcell. ROS is an open source platform that allows integration of software packages via a messaging framework and offers fundamental building blocks for developing robot applications. Participants will get to learn how to integrate robot control packages and simulate an industrial robot to carry out a pick-and-place operation.Course Description
Topics covered are:Day 1:
- Introduction to ROS (2 hrs)
- Basic Linux command (2hrs)
