ROS (Robot Operating System) Training Fallenbrunnen (1), Germany
Problem statement The use of ROS will increase in the future as the use of robots is increasing. The Open source approach and the community behind it made ROS widely accepted. The homepage „robotik UND PRODUKTION“ states, that ROS will be an industrial standard in the future. The acceptance of this open source framework continues to grow. That`s why the original founders and new developers are seeking to establish ROS as the industry standard. As far as the research institute ABI Research is saying, 55% of the commercial robots will own a ROS package in 2024. In recent years utilization of ROS is increasing. Therefor a lot of today`s jobs will be affected by that. Studies show that 57% of the jobs in the OECD could be affected. That`s one reason why the employees need to be prepared and trained in ROS. Explanation of teaching approach Learning robotics by doing is far more effective than reading. This course will provide a good balance between theoretical and practical input. The course mainly concentrates on the basics of ROS. Since the ROS mainly works with Linux, it is essential to educate the participants with the basic knowledge of the Linux operating system.…

ROS-Industrial training will be hosted by re.je as part of a ROSIN Education Project. Learn how to program smart agile robots with the Robot Operating System (ROS). Scheduled topics: Day 1: Introduction to Linux Day 2-4: ROS1 basic training (introduction, manipulation, navigation) Day 5: Advanced ROS1 topics (statemachine-based programming tools; build, test, release workflow and tools) More details about the curriculum can be found on the re.je website. The instructor of this workshop has received training under the ROSIN project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, grant agreement No. 732287. Live Online Group sizes are kept small so there are ample opportunities for questions and discussions. You will be provided with a ROS Virtual Machine (VM) ahead of the training that will be used for the hands on workshops. Participants will have the opportunity to teleoperate physical hardware directly from their VMs over Wireguard VPN. This includes both industrial manipulators (robot arms) and mobile robots. "I thought it worked excellently, in some ways remoting into a robot over vpn is cooler than operating one onsite." – Live Online participant Ticketing Book before 21 June 2020 and get 10% off with EARLYBIRD10 promo…
