In this theme as well as other projects that one would do in the domain of Robotics, one will use ROS and Python Programming. Therefore it's a good idea to spend some time learning and familiarizing yourself with the aforementioned.

If you are not convinced of the awesomeness of ROS, here is a video worth watching!

Important Note:

• NOT all of the resources is needed for Task 0.
• These are resources for ROS 2 as a whole and not specifically for this theme or task.
• So feel free to scan and read only what is needed for the Task OR you could familiarise yourself with the complete resources for ROS 2 right away so you'll be better equipped for future tasks and other projects you may want to work on, in the future.
• Alternatively you could also refer to ROS 2 Humble Documentation directly to learn ROS 2
