How to Learn ROS 2: A Practical Roadmap for Robotics Engineers ROS 2 has become one of the most important technologies for engineers interested in robotics. But beginners often struggle with the same questions: Should I learn ROS 1 first? Do I need a physical robot? Which programming language should I know? And is ROS actually used in production?We discussed these questions with Shubham Nandi, co-founder and Chief Research… |
