**ROSbot 2R** is an autonomous, open-source robot platform for research and quick prototyping use cases. It can be used as a learning platform for Robot Operating System ( **ROS** ) and a base for various robotic applications like inspection and custom service robots.

In this Open Class, we will review the entire process of unboxing the robot, setting it up, and controlling it using **ROS2**.  
This time, you’ll learn:

- Unbox the ROSbot 2R robot
- Set up the robot on your local computer
- Easily connect to the robot using ROSDS
- Control the robot using ROS2

You will be using **ROSbot 2R** throughout the training
