Robotics is no longer about blinking LEDs and basic motor control. The industry is moving toward intelligent, autonomous systems capable of mapping, decision-making, and real-time navigation. To compete at that level, you need more than microcontrollers — you need ROS 2, the global standard framework powering modern robots.

This 12-week immersive program is led by Shafayetul Islam — Robotics Engineer, AI Researcher, and Champion of the University Rover Challenge (URC) 2021, USA. Designed for ambitious engineers, this course bridges the gap between hobby projects and professional robotics development.

Course Outline

Phase 1: Getting Started with ROS 2

- Transitioning from Arduino to the ROS 2 ecosystem.

- Understanding Nodes, Topics, Services, and Actions.

- Developing with Python-based ROS 2 nodes.

Phase 2: Mobile Robot Foundations

- Robot modeling and URDF creation.

- Mastering realistic simulations in Gazebo and RViz.

- Integrating sensor data (LiDAR, IMU) for real-time awareness.

Phase 3: Autonomous Navigation

- Implementing SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping).

- Localization with AMCL and Costmap configurations.

- Smart obstacle avoidance and precision navigation tuning.

Phase 4: Integration & Capstone Project

- Industry-grade debugging and system optimization.

- Final Build: A fully autonomous robotic system ready for a live demo.
