[ROS Tutorials] Chapter 3.1: ROS Services + programming Wam robot-arm (Python)

What will you learn with this unit? - What a service is - How to manage services of a robot - How to call a service [About the Course] This course gives an introduction to the Robot Operating System (ROS) including main concepts required to create and understand ROS programs.Students will learn ROS basics by programming online simulated robots. This course covers following subjects: - ROS Basic : Basic Concepts, Move a Robot with ROS, Create and Compiling a ROS package, launch file, ROS Nodes, Parameter Server, ROS Core - ROS Topics : Publisher. Messages, Subscriber - ROS Services : call a ROS Service, custom Service Compilation - ROS Actions : calling an Action Server - ROS Debugging Tools : Debugging Messages and RQT-Console, Plot topic data and RQT Plot, Node Connections and RQT graph, Record experimental data and ROSBags, Visualize Complex data and RViz - Course Projects [The course is available here] - ROS Bascis Online Course (Python) | http://www.theconstructsim.com/robotigniteacademy_learnros/ros-courses-library/ros-basics-in-5-days/ - ROS Bascis Online Course (C++) | http://www.theconstructsim.com/robotigniteacademy_learnros/ros-courses-library/ros-courses-ros-basics-in-5-days-c/ [ Robots Used in this course ] - BB-8 - Husky - WAM Arm - Parrot AR.Drone - Sphero - Turtlebot 2 [ Requirement ] A laptop and internet connection. No required installation, compilation, specific computer. [ Objetive ] The objective of this course is to give you the basic tools and knowledge to be able to understand and create any basic ROS related project. You will be able to move robots, read their sensor data, make the robots perform intelligent tasks, see visual representations of complex data such as Point Clouds and debug errors in the programs. ---- // Watch the complete tutorials for ROS programming here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBFYZRMLr70&list=PLK0b4e05LnzZWg_7QrIQWyvSPX2WN2ncc // Robot Ignite Academy is a series of online web courses and ROS tutorials giving you the tools and knowledge to be able to understand and create any ROS based robotics development.
