Introduction to Robotics is a comprehensive course on Udacity that covers the essential elements of robotics. In this course, you will meet your instructors and become familiar with the tools necessary for success in the program. You will learn how to simulate robotic environments using Gazebo, the most widely used simulation engine in the field. Additionally, you will discover the flexibility and modularity of the Robot Operating System (ROS) and how to manage existing ROS packages and write your own ROS Nodes in C++. The course also covers localization techniques using Gaussian filters and Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) to estimate a robot's position relative to a known map. You will learn how to implement Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) using ROS packages and C++, and combine mapping algorithms with localization techniques. Finally, you will explore different path planning and navigation algorithms and integrate SLAM and navigation to create a home service robot capable of autonomously transporting objects in your home.
