[ What will you learn with this unit? ]
- What does Path Planning mean in ROS Navigation?
- How does Path Planning work?
- How does the move_base node work?
- What is a Costmap?

[ Main Objective of this course ]
The objective of this course is to give you the basic tools and knowledge to be able to understand and create any basic ROS Navigation-related project. You will be able to create maps of environments, localize the robot in the environment, make the robots perform path planning, visualize data of the different Navigation processes and debug errors using Rviz, configure the different Navigation nodes...

The course will allow you to understand Navigation packages that others have done. So you can take ROS code made by others and understand what is happening and how to modify it for your own purposes.

This course can serve as an introduction to be able to better understand the official ROS Navigation documentation or external Navigation documentation and projects.

[ Robots Used in this course ]
- Kobuki TurtleBot
- Husky
- Summit XL

[ Learning ROS Navigation by programming several robots ]
1. Learn ROS Navigation programming several robots: This part consists of units that each one teaches you some topic of ROS Navigation. But you will learn to create and execute code while using different robots for it (the robots above).Theory through hands-on experience.

2. Apply what you learned to a Robot Project: Here you will apply what you have learned in the previous units by attacking a full project controlling a Summit XL robot. The objective is to make the Summit XL navigate to different spots of the environment autonomously.
