This is such a beneficial series for ROS/Gazebo with C++! 👏 I have also applied for summer school this year. So excited to join it.

Excellent lecture, but I'm wondering if the topic is the channel for a message or if it's the actual message itself?

[RSMReveals]

Will we have further lecturers.. very informative👍

Hi,
These lecturers are extremely helpful. I am following them. I am having a problem when I clone the legged robotics, I don't see any git folder or everything that you depicted in the video. Kindly can you point me in the right direction?

Sir is it okay if I can work with ROS using Ubuntu on WSL instead of VMware ? And also is a NVIDIA graphics card required? My PC has 8GB of RAM with only an Intel Iris Graphics card

[Jarito]

thanks a lot for this course, may i ask if this course is also available in German?

[KaizerRahaman]

From where did we get the Workspace folder ?

[shahmeetable]

Where can we get the VM file used for this course?

[cleisonarmandomanriqueagui]

why on a virtual machine if you have ubuntu already installed ?

[scaldor]

ROS installation is like a Charles Babbage class.

[relayzhang]

Why is the course not focused on explaining ROS2?
