Mastering ROS 2 for Robotics Programming

About this course

This Specialization provides a structured pathway to mastering ROS 2 for modern robotics development, aligned with the latest ROS 2 Jazzy release. It begins with foundational concepts, introducing core components, architecture, and programming workflows that enable learners to confidently build and manage ROS 2-based systems. The learning journey progresses into robot modeling, simulation, and control, where learners work with 3D environments, implement controllers, and utilize advanced frameworks such as Nav2 for navigation and MoveIt 2 for manipulation. These courses strengthen the ability to design and simulate realistic robotic systems while integrating perception and control capabilities. In the final stage, the Specialization advances into aerial robotics, AI integration, and deployment workflows. Learners explore topics such as CI/CD pipelines, large language model integration, and deep reinforcement learning, enabling them to develop intelligent, scalable, and production-ready robotic applications. This specialization is based on the book, Mastering ROS 2 for Robotics Programming, by Lentin Joseph and Jonathan Cacace.
