ROS2 for Beginners

Master the Key ROS Concepts to Create Powerful & Scalable Robot Applications

By Edouard Renard | in Online Courses

This course aims to remove the big learning curve that you face when you start to learn ROS by yourself. It will show you, step by step, what you need to know to get started and master ROS basics. For each section, the instructor will explain one concept that is easy to understand, and then you will practice with me by writing, building, and running some code. This course will show you what you need to pay attention to, what you need to focus on, and how to avoid common mistakes. And, more importantly, you will get some activities and challenges to make you practice the concepts you’ve just seen.

4.2/5 Instructor Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Edouard Renard is a software engineer and entrepreneur. He enjoys teaching new technologies to people, and making complex stuff easy to understand. His method is simple and contains only 3 words: Step-By-Step. He knows how hard it can be to learn a new topic and just be lost in an ocean of information, without knowing what to do. In his courses, he makes sure that you learn one step at a time, through practice, and that you also learn the best practices.

Edouard also co-founded a robotics startup in 2016, building a complete robotic arm, from scratch, with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu, and ROS. Thus, he is aware of things that work and things that don’t work, thanks to a lot of practice. This will save you precious time and make you progress faster.

Learn ROS2 as a ROS1 Developer & Migrate Your ROS Projects

Create Complete ROS2 Applications & Migrate a ROS1 Code Base in ROS2

By Edouard Renard | in Online Courses

This course won't start from the very beginning of each ROS concept since you already know them. Instead, it will focus on the most important points that will allow you to write ROS2 applications in no time, thanks to your pre-existing ROS1 knowledge. Divided into 2 main parts, you will learn how to write ROS2 programs using your ROS1 experience. First, you'll go through every core concept and see how to translate the app in ROS2. The second part will help you learn and focus on the migration part.

Arduino OOP (Object Oriented Programming)

Learn How to Use OOP with Arduino Through a Step-by-Step Project

By Edouard Renard | in Online Courses

You want to write Arduino code that you can easily read, modify, and share with other Arduino developers? Or you already know OOP (Object Oriented Programming), and you want to know how to apply it to Arduino? Well, this Arduino OOP course is 100% project-focused and 100% practical. Throughout the different sections, we are going to write a complete Arduino project, step by step. Everything is hands-on (no copy and paste!), so you can directly practice with me on each video. There are also challenges for some of the sections, so you can practice on your own and develop parts of the project by yourself, using the previous knowledge you got.
