The OpenCourseWare is developed to be a hands-on (project-based learning) course to learn service robotics by building the robot. The reference robot hardware is a heavily customized TurtleBot2 system. Completed with open source ROS software framework, application sample codes and learning courseware, the system is an ideal learning platform for: autonomous navigation, visual perception, speech interaction, mobile manipulation, AI, machine learning and cloud computing.
