About this Site

This is the home of The ROS2 Course Assignments for COM2009: a second-year undergraduate module for The School of Computer Science.

This course is designed to teach students how to use ROS2 (The Robot Operating System, Version 2) with TurtleBot3 Waffle robots, using a mix of simulation-based learning and real robot hardware. Most of the initial learning is done in simulation, after which students are able to apply their new-found ROS knowledge to our real TurtleBot3 Waffle Robots.

The materials here are developed by Dr Tom Howard, a University Teacher in the Multidisciplinary Engineering Education Team in The Diamond.

These resources are also used to teach masters-level Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering students in The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (ACS6121).
