2121340 – Practical Course in Robot Programming with Python

The practical course teaches the basics of programming mobile robots. The most important syntax elements of Python are first repeated and the framework requirements and the relevant development tools are introduced. The modern four-legged walking robot Go2 from the company Unitree is used in the practical course. This robot has numerous sensors and motors that need to be read out and controlled in order to solve complex tasks. The open source framework ROS2, which is used intensively in robotics research, serves as the basis for the practical course. However, the focus of the course is on programming basic, key robotic functions using Python.
Core topics of the course are on perception, motion and task programming.
The pratical course we be organised in groups (4 students per team). Each team will have one Unitree Go2 robot to work with.
Therefore, the number of participants is limited to 12 students.
