ROS Developers LIVE-Class #33: Understanding dead reckoning robot navigation with ROS

Robot Navigation means: How to make robots able to move around AUTONOMOUSLY. This means by themselves (no joystick attached). Odometry based robot navigation means how to make use only of the odometry to understand where the robot is. That is dead reckoning navigation (For example, the type of navigation that Roomba robots use). This Live Class is about making a robot autonomously move around by sending velocity commands to its wheels and by using odometry to figure out where in the space the robot is. That is called dead reckoning navigation
By the end of this Live Class you will be able to:
▸ Understand what odometry is, how to compute it, and how to obtain it from a ROS based robot
▸ Understand the different types of velocities a robot uses
▸ Understand the axis (frames) of a robot, and how to show them in Rviz using tf
▸ Send commands to the wheels of a ROS based robot
▸ Move a ROS based robot around using Dead Reckoning (odometry + wheel commands)

The whole code will be provided to all the attendants to the class.

=========== =================
Every Tuesday at 18:00 CET / CEST. This is a LIVE Class on how to develop with ROS. In Live Classes you practice with me at the same time that I explain, with the provided free ROS material.
IMPORTANT: Remember to be on time for the class because at the beginning of the class we will share the code with the attendants for free.
IMPORTANT 2: in order to start practicing quickly, we are using the ROS Development Studio for doing the practice.
You will need a free account to attend the class. Go to http://rosds.online and create an account prior to the class.
