Building on DFKI’s decades of expertise in developing autonomous mobile robot systems, the workshop provides a practical introduction to ROS2 Jazzy and the fundamentals of autonomous robot navigation.
Preparatory video lectures
Ahead of the workshop, participants will receive access to six video lectures covering the following core topics: ROS2 basics, sensors, odometry, mapping, localization, and path planning. These materials provide a solid theoretical foundation and ensure that attendees are well prepared for the practical sessions.
Hands-on workshop
During the two-day in-person training, participants will work in small groups with TurtleBot3 robots. Under close guidance, they will learn how to:
- Set up ROS2 Jazzy on Ubuntu 24.04
- Teleoperate the robot and process sensor data
- Create and use custom ROS2 nodes in Python
- Perform mapping and localization in a maze environment
- Implement autonomous navigation, enabling the robot to move from a start position to a defined goal using path-planning algorithms
Learning outcomes
By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained hands-on experience in setting up and programming autonomous mobile robots, integrating sensor data, and deploying navigation algorithms in real-world scenarios.
