[ROS tutorial] ROS with industrial robots 101 + programming UR5

This Course is not meant to make you learn all the things you can achieve with ROS for industrial robots, but just to introduce you to some basic concepts you need to know if you want to begin exploring ROS with industrial robots. You are going to work with a Moto man Sia10f simulation and an UR5 simulation

[ You will learn ]
During this Course you will address the following topics:
- Overview of how to create an URDF file for an industrial robot
- How to create a MoveIt! package for your industrial robot
- How to perform motion planning using Python

[ Robots Used in this course ]
- Motoman Sia10f simulation, created by FH Aachen - University of Applied Sciences. Repo of the sim available here: https://github.com/MASKOR/rosin_sia10
- UR5 simulation, created by Alexander Bubeck, Shaun Edwards, Felix Messmer, provided by the ROS Industrial consortium here: https://github.com/ros-industrial/universal_robot

[ This course covers following subjects ]
- Creating the URDF
- Building a Movelt package
- Motion Planning through code (Python)
- Final Project which will be based on the UR5 simulation

[ Requirement ]
A laptop and internet connection. No required installation, compilation, specific computer.
