Robot Operating System 2 (ros 2)

Robot Operating System 2 (ros 2) is a free, self-paced learning path in Engineering & Robotics, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to define primary functions; identify communication protocols; configure development environment.
