Create Embedded and Distributed Robotics Applications with ROS2 and Raspberry Pi

You have learned ROS 2 basics and want to create an embedded application for a robot?

Or maybe you already got a Raspberry Pi and have no idea how to run ROS 2 on it?

In this course, you will create a fully distributed ROS 2 application between a Raspberry Pi, your computer, and even an Arduino board. At the end of the course you will be able to adapt this knowledge to your own projects.

Why this course?

ROS 2 is a powerful robotics framework that you can use to bootstrap software for a new robot in no time.

Raspberry Pi is a tiny and relatively inexpensive board that you can easily embed on a robot, and it makes it easy to connect to different hardware components.

So, why not use the two together? That’s a perfect combo: running ROS 2 directly inside a robot, on a tiny computer that has direct access to hardware.

I have personally done that in the robotics startup I cofunded in the past. We produced a fully working 6 axis robotic arm, powered by ROS 2 running on a Raspberry Pi. If we could create (and sell!) such a robot, then imagine what you can achieve.

With this course I want to share my practical knowledge with you, so you can quickly get started with ROS 2 on a Raspberry Pi, and understand the different specificities so you can properly design your own applications 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.

This course is 100% hands-on. You need to have some ROS 2 basics to get started, but that’s it. From that, we will:

• Install Ubuntu Server and ROS 2 on a Raspberry Pi
• Set up a remove development environment with VS Code
• Write, build, and run nodes on the Raspberry Pi
• Create a fully distributed ROS 2 app between your computer and your Raspberry Pi
• Add an Arduino board to the application and get closer to the hardware

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

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.

What you’ll learn

• Install Ubuntu Server and ROS 2 on a Raspberry Pi
• Remotely develop your ROS 2 application with VS Code
• Create an embedded and distributed application between your Raspberry Pi and your computer
• Set up a multi machine with ROS_DOMAIN_ID
• Properly design your ROS 2 application to take the best out of the Raspberry Pi
• Create a communication protocol between Raspberry Pi and Arduino
• Add an Arduino board to your ROS 2 application
• Practice with extra activities and challenges

Who this course is for:

• ROS developers who want to create embedded and distributed robotics applications
• Engineers/Teachers/Researchers/Students interested in both ROS 2 and Raspberry Pi
• Startup founders and makers who want to create a cheap robotics setup powered by ROS 2
