Autonomous Control Learning Phase

General Learning Phase

In this phase, we will be focusing on understanding two key areas, namely Autonomous
Navigation and ROS. Should you have any queries or face difficulties, please don’t hesitate
to ask for assistance.

First priority topics

Linux
As a developer, it is crucial to have a fundamental grasp of Linux commands. So from this
course study the following lessons click here:
