About Robotics Academy

Robotics Academy uses ROS and Gazebo as underlying infrastructure for the exercises. Computer Vision exercises use OpenCV.

Use it from your web browser with no installation

Just play with Robotics Academy at its WebIDE, it is free :-)

This spring it is going to be used in a Greek competition 2019 at the University of the Aegean, Greece.

Local installation on Linux machines

The programming framework is composed of the Gazebo simulator, ROS middleware and the Robotics Academy package. All this software is open source so there are alternative ways to install all of them directly from the source code. Currently we use Gazebo-7.4.0, ROS Kinetic and JdeRobot-Academy (20180606) releases. Follow the installation recipe in the github repository to get the framework up and running, ready to use on your computer.

Local installation on Windows machines

We prepared docker images which include all the infrastructure software so you can run the framework from the container. Follow the installation recipe in the github repository to get the framework up and running, ready to use on your computer.
