We are proud to announce that together with the University of Eastern Finland, we have open-sourced the robotics part from our “Robotics & XR” master’s-level course. You can find the course materials and all the hands-on exercises on GitHub: Robotics & ROS 2 Essentials

Last semester we were offered the opportunity to help develop the latest iteration of the “Robotics & XR” course for the University of Eastern Finland (UEF). Combining UEF’s broad theoretical robotics expertise, and the industry knowledge from Henki Robotics, we wanted to upgrade the existing Robotics course to prepare students with the most up-to-date skills required for modern robotics development. The course goes through the essential robotics skills and the basic concepts related to ROS 2, which is nowadays the most commonly used robotics development framework.

People and students often ask where and how they should start learning robotics and ROS 2. Robotics is a rapidly growing field, so more and more experts are needed in the area. We believe in open source and knowledge sharing, so we wanted to make the course material available for everyone, for free!
