Labs
The laboratory sequence for **RAS 545: Robotics Systems I** introduces digital twins, physics-based simulation, robot manipulation, ROS 2, sensing, localization, and autonomous navigation. The pages below are designed as a growing lab library. New articulated-robot and Isaac Sim labs can be added to the `_labs` collection without changing this page. Course context: These laboratories complement the articulated-robot and Isaac Sim activities described on the RAS 545 course page.
Lab 2
Lab 2: Six-Degree-of-Freedom Robot
A planned Isaac Sim laboratory focused on six-degree-of-freedom robot modeling, manipulation, and control.
- Isaac Sim
- Robot manipulation
- Six-degree-of-freedom systems
Lab 3
Lab 3: TurtleBot 3 ROS2 Integration, Sensors, Localization, and Navigation
Build a ROS 2-enabled TurtleBot 3 simulation with sensors, odometry, localization, and Nav2 navigation.
- ROS 2
- Sensors and TF
- Localization and Nav2
