Tutorials

The role of the tutorials is to provide a platform for a more intensive scientific exchange amongst researchers interested in a particular topic and as a meeting point for the community. Tutorials complement the depth-oriented technical sessions by providing participants with broad overviews of emerging fields. A tutorial can be scheduled for 1.5 or 3 hours.

Tutorial proposals are accepted until:

September 11, 2025


If you wish to propose a new Tutorial please kindly fill out and submit this Expression of Interest form.

Abstract

Gazebo serves as the simulation platform for the ROS industrial software suite, offering a visual simulation space for planning pathways and optimizing industrial robots. Using this environment, it is possible to simulate different types of robots including universal robots, KuKA, and ABB robots. This tutorial delves into the simulation procedures for industrial robots within ROS industrial, providing an illustration of the path planning process. It is therefore expected for the audience to learn about
- building simulation environment for the industrial robot
- forward kinematics solutions
- inverse kinematics solutions
- path planning of the industrial robots.


Keywords

Robotic operating system, Gazebo, forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, path planning

Aims and Learning Objectives

- Learn to build simulation environment for the industrial robot in Gazebo
- Learn forward kinematics solutions in Gazebo
- Learn inverse kinematics solutions in Gazebo
- Learn about path planning of the industrial robots in Gazebo


Target Audience

Postgraduate researchers, PhD students,

Prerequisite Knowledge of Audience

Knowledge about programming languages specially Python.

Detailed Outline

Gazebo, a simulation environment integrated with ROS Industrial, constitutes an essential resource for the simulation, optimization, and planning of industrial robotic motion. This tutorial offers an insights into the construction and refinement of industrial robot simulation models, which is particularly beneficial for engineers, researchers, and specialists in robotics, and control who seek to enhance their robotic performance. Upon completion, participants will have acquired a comprehensive understanding of simulation environments, kinematic solutions, and path planning strategies, thereby equipping them for practical applications in industrial automation and the development of robotics.
