About the project
ACTROS created a reference centre for training in mobile robotics with open source, mainly ROS and ROS 2, at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. URJC is a national reference in ROS training, with university courses since 2015 and the pioneering Degree in Software Robotics Engineering.
The project equipped the lab robots (Pepper, TIAGo, Kobuki…) to run regular courses for advanced students and for professionals who want to learn robot software development. The training covers ROS, ROS 2, navigation, sensors and deep learning for robots.
Course materials
- actros2_essentials – packages used in the ROS 2 courses.
