354-0617 – Robots Programming 1 (PR1)

The graduate of the course will get an idea of programming robotic systems using robotic operating system (ROS). He / she acquires knowledge necessary for its programming using Python programming language.

Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the necessary fundamentals of programming necessary for programming the control systems of service robots using ROS (Robot Operating System). Due to its focus on the ROS system, the Python programming language is used. The possibility of using Python language for advanced simulation control in V-Rep system is also mentioned. This is followed by an introduction to the basics of the ROS system.
