First Project - Robotics Software Engineer Nanodegree @Udacity
This Gazebo world design intends to replicate the WorldSkills Mobile Robotics next challange in a simplified version.
Please take a look on a brief competition overview below.
WorldSkills Is the world's largest TVET competition that happens every 2 years in a different country.
Last event was in Kazan, Russia and had over 60 different skills from bakery to hairdressing to mobile robotics.
The next edition which will take place in Shanghai, China 2022.
I was a competitor back in 2017 WorldSkills Abu Dhabi and now I'm a mobile robotics mentor learning ROS.
The competition is based on a robotics kit to level the playing field between different countries.
In previous years LabVIEW was the mandatory programming language, but for the next edition the hardware has changed and more options like ROS are available.
The WS Shanghai 2022 challange simulates a hospital.
In the actual competition teams will develop mobile robots that have to carry medicines and hazardous materials represented by colored cubes and gurneys represented by a four wheeled chassis.
