About this Event
Industrial robotics is evolving rapidly as manufacturers and automation teams adopt more flexible, connected and intelligent robotic systems.
Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) provides an open-source software framework for building robotic applications, enabling communication between components, integrating sensors and supporting distributed robotic systems.
ROS 2 offers capabilities relevant to modern industrial environments, including configurable communication, modular software architectures and integration with robotic hardware and simulation tools.
This NobleProg hybrid event explores the concepts and technologies behind ROS 2 and how they relate to industrial robotics and automation.
Participants can attend onsite in Andheri East, Mumbai, or join live online, with both attendance options running simultaneously.
Why Attend?
Industrial robotics applications increasingly require reliable communication, modular software development and integration between robots, sensors and automation systems.
This event explores how ROS 2 can support these requirements.
Participants will examine:
- The architecture and core concepts of ROS 2.
- Communication between robotic software components.
- Nodes, topics, services and actions.
- Robot data exchange using DDS-based communication.
- Sensor integration and robotic system coordination.
- ROS 2 applications in industrial automation.
- Simulation, testing and deployment considerations.
- Reliability and operational requirements for industrial robotic systems.
Key Topics
1. Introduction to ROS 2
Explore the role of ROS 2 in robotics software development.
Potential areas include:
- ROS 2 architecture and ecosystem.
- Differences between ROS 1 and ROS 2.
- Distributed robotic applications.
- ROS 2 packages and workspaces.
- Common robotics development workflows.
2. ROS 2 Nodes and Communication
Understand how ROS 2 components exchange information.
Topics may include:
- Nodes and executors.
- Topics and publish-subscribe communication.
- Messages and interfaces.
- Services for request-response interactions.
- Actions for long-running tasks.
- Parameters and configuration.
3. DDS and Quality of Service
Explore the role of Data Distribution Service (DDS) in ROS 2 communication.
Consider Quality of Service (QoS) policies and their importance for reliability, latency and data delivery in robotic systems.
4. Developing ROS 2 Applications
Examine the structure of ROS 2 applications and how software components can be organised for robotic tasks.
Potential areas include:
- ROS 2 development with Python or C++.
- Package organisation.
- Launch files.
- Component configuration.
- Logging and debugging.
- Testing robotic software components.
5. Sensor Integration and Robot Data
Explore how ROS 2 can support communication with sensors and robotic devices.
Potential topics include:
- Sensor data publishing.
- Camera and LiDAR data concepts.
- Coordinate frames and transformations.
- Robot state information.
- Data visualisation and monitoring.
6. ROS 2 for Industrial Robotics
Examine potential applications of ROS 2 in industrial environments, including:
- Robotic manipulation.
- Automated material handling.
- Industrial robot coordination.
- Sensor-driven automation.
- Autonomous mobile robotics.
- Integration with manufacturing systems.
7. Simulation and Testing
Explore the role of simulation in robotics development.
Consider how virtual environments can support the testing of robot behaviour, communication and integration before physical deployment.
8. ROS 2 Integration with Industrial Systems
Examine considerations for connecting ROS 2 applications with industrial robots, controllers and automation infrastructure.
Potential areas include:
- Robot drivers and interfaces.
- Communication with external systems.
- Industrial networking considerations.
- Integration with existing automation architectures.
- Hardware compatibility and system dependencies.
9. Reliability, Safety and Deployment
Explore operational considerations for ROS 2-based industrial robotic systems, including:
- Communication reliability.
- Fault handling.
- System monitoring.
- Deployment architecture.
- Cybersecurity considerations.
- Robot and workplace safety.
- Validation and human oversight.
ROS 2 software capabilities do not by themselves establish compliance with industrial safety requirements; appropriate safety-rated systems and engineering controls remain necessary.
These are proposed topic areas based on the event title. The final approved agenda will determine the actual technical depth, ROS 2 distribution, programming language, simulation environment, practical exercises and hardware access.
