Agilex ROS2 COURSE (ROS2 COURSE)

Most people who set out to learn robotics hit the same wall: the documentation makes sense on screen, yet the moment a real robot has to read a sensor, plan a path or dodge a chair, the theory and the machine refuse to meet. The Agilex ROS2 COURSE (ROS2 COURSE) is built to close that gap. Rather than treating ROS 2 as an abstract framework, it ties every concept to a physical platform, the LIMO robot, so that each lesson ends with a robot that measurably does something it could not do before.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, supplies the Agilex ROS2 COURSE (ROS2 COURSE) to universities, training centres, companies and individual developers across the EU and the DACH region. Robots Europa prepares the quotation, arranges supply and acts as the point of contact for questions about the course and the LIMO platform it is designed around, so that buyers in Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the wider European market deal with one European supplier from enquiry to support.

Background

AgileX Robotics and The Construct

The course is the result of a collaboration between AgileX Robotics and The Construct. AgileX Robotics is known for its range of mobile robot platforms, from compact educational chassis to field-ready tracked vehicles, many of which ship with ROS support; you can see the wider line-up in the AgileX category. The Construct is a specialist in robotics education with a focus on ROS. Together, the two companies have produced a set of comprehensive ROS 2 courses centred on the LIMO robot, combining the hardware maker's knowledge of its own platform with an education partner's experience of teaching ROS.

ROS 2 as the next-generation framework

The course is positioned as a gateway to learning ROS 2, the next-generation framework for advanced robot applications. ROS 2 has become the common language of research labs and robotics start-ups alike, because it gives developers a shared way of structuring software, passing data between components and reusing proven tools for mapping and navigation. Learning it, however, is far easier with a robot in front of you. Here, core concepts and tools are explored using the interactive LIMO robot, which provides a platform for applying knowledge in real-world scenarios rather than in isolated exercises. The curriculum is organised into four courses, each with a defined goal and a final project, progressing from basic robotics and Python through ROS 2 navigation to mobile manipulation and deep learning.

What does each LIMO course teach?

The four courses are designed as a progression, and each one closes on a project that proves the skill in practice. Course 1, Basics of Robotics with Limo Robot, starts from first principles: basic robotics concepts and Python programming. Its final project asks learners to plot sensor data and compute Limo's odometry, which is the foundation for everything a mobile robot later does, since a robot that cannot estimate its own motion cannot map or navigate.

Course 2, Mastering ROS 2 with Limo Robot, moves into the framework itself, teaching ROS 2 basics with Python together with 2D or 3D navigation. The topics for this ROS 2 material include ROS 2 basic concepts, ROS 2 topics, mapping, robot localisation in the environment, path planning in ROS 2, obstacle avoidance in ROS 2, RTAB-Map basic concepts and autonomous navigation with RTAB-Map. The final project is the implementation of obstacle avoidance using laser data, a task that brings perception, decision and motion together in one loop.

Course 3, Master Mobile Manipulators with Limo, shifts the focus from driving to handling. Its goal is to teach pick and place tasks with a mobile manipulator, and the final project is a complete pick and place solution for Limo PRO. This is the point at which navigation and manipulation meet, a combination that reflects how mobile robots are increasingly deployed in logistics and service settings.

How does the deep learning course differ from the ROS 2 courses?

Course 4, NVIDIA Deep Learning with Limo, takes a different direction. Instead of classical navigation, it teaches deep learning using NVIDIA libraries and the Jetson Nano. Its final project integrates deep learning algorithms so that the robot can follow a person and avoid obstacles, combining learned perception with the motion skills developed earlier in the track.

A demonstration of deep learning models, ROS-based mapping and navigation shows how the Jetson Nano can be used to run AI models and integrate them with ROS to achieve effective environmental mapping and robot navigation. For learners, the distinction matters: the first three courses build the structured, rule-based backbone of a robot application, while the fourth shows how neural networks can be layered onto that backbone. Taken in order, the track moves from understanding a robot's motion to letting it interpret people and its surroundings.

Who is the Agilex ROS2 COURSE (ROS2 COURSE) for?

AgileX names a broad audience: beginners and enthusiasts, students, start-ups, developers, researchers and professionals. Beginners and enthusiasts are best served by Course 1, which assumes no prior ROS knowledge in its stated goal and starts with basic robotics and Python. Students on engineering, computer science or mechatronics programmes will find Course 2 the natural core, because it covers the mapping, localisation and path planning that underpin most university robotics modules.

Start-ups and developers building products on mobile robots can use Course 2 and Course 3 to bring a team up to speed on ROS 2 navigation and mobile manipulation without assembling a curriculum themselves. Researchers working on perception and autonomy will find Course 4 the most relevant, with its focus on NVIDIA libraries and the Jetson Nano. Professionals moving from industrial automation into mobile robotics can follow the full track to gain a structured overview of the field. Institutions planning a robotics teaching lab can discuss with Robots Europa which combination of courses and LIMO hardware fits their programme, and how the track sits alongside the other platforms in the AgileX range.

What is the Agilex ROS2 COURSE (ROS2 COURSE) used for?

1. Teaching robotics foundations: introducing basic robotics concepts and Python programming on a real robot.
2. Learning ROS 2: building a working understanding of ROS 2 concepts and topics as the framework for advanced robot applications.
3. Mapping and localisation: practising how a robot builds a map and locates itself within it, including RTAB-Map.
4. Autonomous navigation: developing path planning and obstacle avoidance using laser data.
5. Mobile manipulation: creating a full pick and place solution for Limo PRO.
6. Applied AI on the edge: running deep learning models on the Jetson Nano to follow a person and avoid obstacles.
