Summary
This short course will introduce the Robot Operating System (ROS) middleware, together with a short introduction to Python, C++, and GNU/Linux, being relevant resources for effective use of ROS. Python is a powerful high-level language, being particularly effective for rapid prototyping. C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages in use. And GNU/Linux is an open source operating system widely in use, capable of running in a wide range of devices (from embedded devices up to mainframe clusters).
The course is targeted to everyone with programming proficiency in C and knowledge of the object programming paradigm. It will have a strong practical component, since it will combine expository with hands-on sessions.
