Hi,

Happy to share that I’ve just released a new ROS 2 course focused on MoveIt 2!

For this course I chose to teach you not just by telling you what to do and show you existing examples, but instead, by building a project together from scratch.

At the end of the course you will be able to control your own robotic arm with Moveit2. You will have a clear understanding of all the steps you need to take, and how to take them.

Here are the steps we will take in this 100% project based course:

  • Install ROS 2 and MoveIt 2

  • Create a URDF for a 6 axis robotic arm

  • Configure this robot for MoveIt 2, using the MoveIt Setup Assistant

  • Add a gripper to the arm

  • Create a bringup package with a launch file, to start your application

  • Control the arm and gripper with the MoveIt API (C++ and Python)

  • Get the steps on how to connect MoveIt with your own hardware, using ros2_control

Each section is built on top of the previous ones, and you will reinforce what you’ve learned with extra challenges to practice more. All the code can be downloaded and used as a template for your own projects.

Thanks for reading, I hope you like the course!
