<p>ROS (Robot Operating System) is an open source framework with libraries and tools to help creating robot applications. </p>
<p>In March 2019 monthly session, we will do a group activity of exploring and learning the ROS navigation basics(gmapping, localization, path planning) using a simulation framework. If needed, we will also conduct additional future sessions on ROS navigation for advanced level projects. Our objective is to create local ROS expertise, using learning by doing method.</p>
