After all the Covid restrictions in 2020 and 2021, we are happy to inform you that we hold a ROS Summer School in Aachen again. Starting the 15th August and ending with a competition on the 26th of August, we offer again a unique experience to learn ROS from scratch or deepen your intermediate ROS knowledge with a lot of seminars, workshops and – of course – practical coding. The teaching material was updated to ROS2 during our break in order to teach the newest ROS versions using the latest packages like e.g. Nav2 to guide our TurtleBots through the arena.
The Robot Operating System (ROS) summer school provides the right starter kit by using our robotic hardware and – of course – ROS software. We first start with some days of introductory courses, before we tackle the main task of mobile robotics, i.e. perception, localization, mapping and path planning. A highlight is a competition at the end of the second week: Summer School participants form different teams that have the task to design a typical mobile robotic application like indoor/outdoor exploration. They all use the same hardware, powered by their learnt ROS skills.
Additionally, we offer excursions during the week to explore Aachen and other nearby cities (e.g. Cologne, Maastricht, Bonn). Last but not least, we have a welcome BBQ and a farewell BBQ. We hope that again many ROS enthusiasts will participate in the ROS Summer School!
