Morning Session
8:00am - 12:00pm
How do we make mobile robots go? This education-focused workshop will walk through the process of configuring a robot to navigate its environment, step by step, including: teleoperation, map building, localization costmaps, global planning, local planning, and high level coordination. Each participant will get a unique simulated robot to configure. For every component covered, there will be an introductory presentation covering the key variables and a guide of how to set up a ROS package to enable the robot to navigate successfully.
Register Now!Don't forget the power cord and travel adapters (as needed).
The preferred operating system is Ubuntu 22.04 / ROS 2 Humble, but you may be able to use other combinations with some effort.
This is the version shipped with ROS 2 Humble.
Using a TBA launch file, it will be helpful to have several packages already installed and compiled.
You're attending a ROS conference, so it is assumed you'll have some familiarity with ROS 2 command-line tools, such as compiling with colcon, running and writing launch files and the structure of YAML files. C++ will be discussed but you will not need to write any code.
This workshop is intended for people seeking an introduction to ROS Navigation. If you've been to multiple ROSCons, given a talk at ROSCon or already have experience running robots around using Nav, this workshop may be too basic for you.
