Hi ROS Community,

Join our next ROS Developers Open Class to learn about 3D Object Detection and Navigation. These are crucial skills in robotics and computer vision applications, enabling robots to perceive and interact with their environment. They are essential for tasks such as autonomous navigation, object manipulation, and environmental mapping.

In the upcoming open class, you’ll explore how to implement 3D object detection using YOLOv8 and apply it to navigate the LIMO robot toward detected objects.

This free class welcomes everyone and includes a practical ROS project with code and simulation. Alberto Ezquerro, a skilled robotics developer and head of robotics education at The Construct, will guide this live session.

## What you’ll learn:

- Introduction to **3D Object Detection** in **Robotics**
- Understanding **YOLOv8** architecture and its application in 3D space
- Integrating **YOLOv8** with **ROS 2** for real-time object detection
- Implementing navigation algorithms to move the **LIMO robot** toward detected objects
- Hands-on experience in building a complete perception-action pipeline

## The robot we’ll use in this class:

Simulated **LIMO Robot**
