Building robots and autonomous systems might sound fun but every successful project requires a very elaborate and intensive plan. It’s important for any engineer to be able to simulate the robot/system in various environmental conditions before moving to the development stage. This is why IEEE NSU Robotics and Automation Society in collaboration with IEEE NSU Student Branch is organizing a workshop titled “Introduction to Robot Operating System (ROS)”. Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open-source framework designed to help developers create and manage robot software. It provides tools and libraries to simplify tasks like controlling hardware, processing sensor data, and enabling communication between different parts of a robot. ROS is widely used in robotics research and development, allowing for collaboration and sharing of code, which accelerates innovation in fields like autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotic arms.
