Getting started in Robotics&ROS 2015

This workshop provides a hands-on introduction to ROS - Robotic Operating System - and its use for several robotic platforms. ROS has been emerging as a standard for robot software development. It is an open-source, meta-operating system that provides hardware abstraction services. It implements low and high level functionality. The speakers at the workshop are researchers that are currently using ROS for their work. As an outcome of this workshop, attendees will have a basic knowledge on how to use ROS and have a good insight on how ROS can be used as a software development tool in the context of robotics research team.
