⚡ Transform Your Skills — Starts 1st November
Robotics Onboarding Module
Dive into the world of modern robotics with a hands-on course that takes you from the foundations of ROS2 to building and simulating complete robotic systems. Step by step, you’ll learn to program robots, automate their workflows, design and model their structures, visualize real-time data in 3D, and simulate them in realistic environments with Gazebo. Each module is project-driven. Whether you’re aiming to launch a career in robotics, strengthen your engineering background, or simply bring your ideas to life, this course gives you the tools and hands-on experience to make it happen.
Course overview
A practical path: start with fundamentals to industry-level applications .
This course is structured as a project-driven learning path. You learn each core concept through lessons followed by a practical lab (Galaxium Robotics Platform). Every lesson is paired with live cohort sessions, where you’ll collaborate with peers and instructors to design, simulate, and program robots in real time, ensuring you gain hands-on experience beyond theory.
