Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Coimbatore Campus will organize a 3 Day Workshop on Robot Operating System from December 16 – 18, 2022.

The 3-day ROS workshop would provide an in-depth understanding of the ROS framework and its various tools and libraries. Participants would learn about the ROS ecosystem and how to use ROS to program and control robots. They would also gain hands-on experience with integrating different ROS packages and tools to build robotic systems. The workshop would be a valuable learning opportunity for anyone interested in robotics and ROS.
