Learn ROS2 for Beginners Level 2: Master TF, URDF, RViz, and Gazebo – **Completely Free!**

Ready to take your ROS2 skills to the next level? This comprehensive course will teach you how to design custom robot applications and create simulations using ROS 2. You’ll master essential concepts like TF, URDF, RViz, and Gazebo, building a solid foundation for advanced robotics projects.

This course is designed for those who have already completed a beginner’s ROS2 course and are ready to dive deeper. You’ll learn by doing, working through a real-world project from start to finish.

**Here’s what you’ll learn:**

  • Understand the importance of TF and how to use it with RViz.
  • Create URDF files to describe the physical properties of your robot.
  • Generate TF using the robot state publisher and the URDF.
  • Enhance your URDF with the powerful Xacro tool.
  • Integrate your URDF with Gazebo, spawning your robot in a simulated environment.
  • Control your robot using Gazebo plugins.
  • Simulate sensors in Gazebo for realistic behavior.
  • Build ROS2 packages and XML launch files to manage your entire application with a single command.

**This course is perfect for you if you want to:**

  • Design and build custom robot applications.
  • Create realistic robot simulations using Gazebo.
  • Master advanced ROS2 concepts like TF, URDF, and Gazebo.
  • Gain hands-on experience with real-world projects.
