01 — Course
Learn it in simulation: Python, ROS and a 3D world that boots in a browser tab.
This is the course Collegica was started for. In 2020 it became clear that the whole of robotics — frames and transforms, ROS, perception, navigation — could be taught without a lab, because the simulators had got good enough to run in a browser and Python was already the language of the field.
A browser. That is the whole list. No ROS install, no Ubuntu partition, no hardware. Enough Python to write a loop and a class; no robotics and no linear algebra beyond school level — the maths arrives when it is needed and not before.
The syllabus is being written, and the course will appear here module by module. Announcements go out through the newsletter.
