Robotics Dev Fundamentals: Linux, C++, ROS2 & micro-ROS
Instructor
Luqman
Course Overview
Course Description
- Our Robotics Development Fundamentals course takes you from your first Linux commands to working with real hardware using ROS 2 and micro-ROS. You’ll learn by doing: setting up Ubuntu, writing C++ code, creating ROS 2 nodes, and sending data from an ESP32. By the end, you’ll be ready to build and run your own robotics projects.
Why Learn This Path
- Hands-on skills: You’ll practice real tasks, not just theory.
- Career boost: Linux, C++, and ROS 2 are standard in robotics jobs.
- Confidence: Move from virtual machines to real hardware smoothly.
Modules Overview
Module 1: Linux & C++
- Learn Ubuntu setup, CLI tasks, C++ basics, and CMake builds.
Module 2: ROS 2 Programming
- Build publisher/subscriber nodes, use launch files, and run Turtlesim simulations.
Module 3: Hardware & micro-ROS
- Set up Raspberry Pi, program ESP32 with PlatformIO, and publish data via micro-ROS.
