I feel I get the core skills I need to understand how the ROS fits together, and how to structure projects in it.
Dan Goldsmith - Coventry University
Course - ROS: Programming for Robotics
Robotics sounds very complex etc, and Richard help us see this in a more friendly way and the possibilities the tool has.
