Learn ROS2 as a ROS1 Developer and Migrate Your ROS Projects

🤖 Master Robotics with ROS2 - For Experienced ROS1 Users!

Why Choose This Course? 🎓

🚀 For the ROS1 Veteran: If you're already proficient in ROS1 and looking to transition into ROS2, this course is your bridge. It's designed to leverage your existing knowledge and get you up and running with ROS2 applications swiftly. There's no need to re-learn the basics; we'll focus on the key differences and how to apply your expertise in a new context.

🤖 Practical Approach: This course is crafted from real-world experience, not just theory. I've been there, transitioning from ROS1 to ROS2 for practical applications like a market-ready robotic arm. You'll benefit from hands-on techniques that work in the field, not just in theory.

How Will You Learn? 🛠️

Step by Step: We'll progress through topics in a clear and logical order, ensuring you understand each concept before moving on to the next.

Point & Practical: No fluff – we'll cover only what's essential for transitioning from ROS1 to ROS2 with your existing skills.

Practice Oriented: You'll learn by doing, applying concepts in practice to solidify your understanding and develop real-world ROS2 applications.

Course Breakdown 📚

Part 1: Writing ROS2 Programs with Your ROS1 Knowledge

We'll start by taking an existing ROS1 application and converting it step by step into a ROS2 application. We'll focus on the core functionalities of ROS2, ensuring you're comfortable with the necessary changes and similarities to ROS1.

Part 2: Migrating from ROS1 to ROS2

Here, we'll explore when and how to migrate your ROS1 code base to ROS2. You'll learn about the current ROS1 and ROS2 distributions and their future outlook. The course includes a detailed process for migrating your applications, including running both ROS1 and ROS2 applications simultaneously using the ros1_bridge package (although please note the ros1_bridge content may be outdated due to its current development status).

🛠️ Complete Project Practice: To put your new skills into action, I'll provide a full ROS1 project involving Turtlesim that you'll migrate to ROS2. This hands-on experience will test your understanding and help you master the migration process.

Who Is This Course For? ✋

🚀 This course is perfect for you if:

• You have a solid understanding of ROS1 (nodes, services, parameters, launch files).
• You're not a complete beginner in programming or Linux.
• You're ready to dive into the world of ROS2 and looking to leverage your current ROS1 expertise.

🚫 This course is NOT for you if:

• You're completely new to ROS (start with learning ROS1 first).
• You're already an expert in both ROS1 and ROS2, as the advanced content may not be applicable.
• You're just getting started with programming or Linux basics – this course assumes a certain level of proficiency.
