ROS Drone Basic Course for Beginners

About this Repository

Hector Drone and its sensors is what we are going to interface our python Nodes with and write algorithms to avoid obstacles and secure diamonds in simulation of Gaebzo .OpenCV library for python is going to be used for the Last project and you will learn how to perform computer vision algorithms with ROS .

Course Workflow

This course is going to utilize Hector drone package containing a drone with multiple sensors. We will start with creating custom launch files which will bring all required files into our custom package. Sensors integration to robot model with xacro files .We will then perform multiple tasks to learn how ROS can help in learning drone robotics

Custom World Files will be created to represent projects , and complete workflow of our projects will be explained .

OpenCV library for python is going to be used for the Last project and you will learn how to perform computer vision algorithms with ROS

Features

• Drone Following Ground Vehicles throuhg Computer Vision
