ROS 2 Moveit 2 – Control a Robotic Arm

Create your own 6 axis robotic arm and control it with ROS 2 and MoveIt 2 – Step by step, from URDF to Hardware

Description

You have learned ROS 2 basics and want to work on robotic arms, using MoveIt 2?

And maybe you’ve already started but you feel completely lost?

In this course you will understand all the required steps to properly configure a robotic arm for MoveIt 2, by building a project by yourself, from scratch. At the end of the course you will be able to adapt this knowledge to your own projects.

— Why this course?

I know that learning MoveIt 2 can be a real nightmare. It’s hard to know where to start, how to do the configuration properly, and how to integrate it into your own ROS 2 application.

There are so many steps and details to pay attention to, and online documentation usually assumes you have way more knowledge and teaches you like you’re an expert already, which can be discouraging.

I’ve been there myself and I learned how to use MoveIt to control a 6 axis robotic arm, for the startup I co-funded in the past. So, I’m here to share with you this practical experience, used for a real robot that was sold in the real world.

My goal is to provide you with a full step by step guide on how to set up and control a robotic arm with MoveIt.

Also, I’m not just going to show you an existing robot and tell you “here is how it’s done”. We will start from scratch, and build our own custom 6 axis robotic arm, so you can learn how to replicate the steps for your own projects.

— How do I teach?

If you’ve taken other ROS 2 courses from me you know that I’m not here to waste your time.

My teaching method is quite simple:

• Step by step

• Going to the point

• Learn while doing

Also I strongly focus on the “why” behind what you learn. The goal is not just to make you blindly repeat some steps, but to understand why those steps matter.

And don’t take my word for it – here are some reviews from fellow students/researchers/engineers/teachers who took my ROS 2 courses on Udemy:

“Best course on ROS2 I’ve taken! Other courses (different sites/platforms) made it confusing but this course makes it so clear and easy to understand while letting you try on your own. I am definitely learning a lot in a painless and simple way. I should have gotten this course from the beginning.” – Miguel Martinez G.

“Overall very satisfied. I’ve a strong background in programming, but at a higher level (web mostly) and the elegant, fluent and clean approach of this course has leveraged my introduction to the ROS environment in a short amount of time, without the struggle of going through a lot of documentation” – Devis D.

“This is the best course in ROS2 I’ve ever seen” – Aleksandar K.

“Great course content, straight to the point and very easy to follow” – Kevin M.

— What will you do and learn in the course?

This course is 100% project based. We will start from an empty project and build everything step by step, together.

You will:

• Install ROS 2 and MoveIt 2

• Create a URDF for a 6 axis robotic arm

• Configure this robot for MoveIt 2, using the MoveIt Setup Assistant

• Add a gripper to the arm

• Create a bringup package with a launch file, to start your application

• Control the arm and gripper with the MoveIt API (C++ and Python)

• Get the steps on how to connect MoveIt with your own hardware, using ros2_control

Each section is built on top of the previous ones, and you will reinforce what you’ve learned with extra challenges to practice more.

You will learn by doing, and you will be able to download the code at the end of each section, so you can use it as a template for your own projects.

So, to learn how to control a robotic arm with MoveIt 2 and ROS 2, wait no more and enroll in the course today!

You don’t take any risk as you get a 30-day money back guarantee if you’re not fully satisfied – no questions asked.

See you in the course!

Note – this course is not for you if:

• You have never worked with ROS 2 before. You will need ROS 2 basics to understand this course.
