The AgileX ROS2 Course is a structured, project-based robotics curriculum built around the LIMO mobile robot platform, designed to take learners from ROS 2 fundamentals through applied autonomous navigation and mobile manipulation. The programme uses a simulation-to-real workflow — students begin exercises in a Gazebo simulation environment and conclude by connecting to a real LIMO robot — reinforcing the validation approach common in professional robotics development. Curriculum topics span ROS 2 basics (nodes, topics, TF, launch, lifecycle), mobile robot kinematics across multiple drive modes, SLAM, path planning, obstacle avoidance, and RTAB-Map-based autonomous navigation.

Advanced modules introduce applied AI and perception workflows including 3D SLAM, YOLO object recognition, vision-based line following, and target detection with tracking control, with demonstrations using Jetson Nano hardware for edge inference. AgileX frames the audience broadly — beginners and enthusiasts, students, developers, researchers, and professionals — and supports capstone projects such as computing odometry from sensor data, building pick-and-place solutions for a mobile manipulator, and integrating deep learning for person-following. The curriculum is delivered across a set of guided course modules covering core navigation building blocks relevant to real autonomous mobile robot development.
