First Steps with ROS2 and Robotics

Diving into ROS2 has been an exciting challenge! Coming from embedded systems background, the distributed nature of ROS2 nodes was initially confusing but incredibly powerful once understood.

What I've learned so far:

• Node communication through topics and services

• URDF and XACRO

• Integration with Gazebo for simulation and debugging with foxglove and rviz2

• Basic navigation and mapping concepts

Currently working on a simple autonomous navigation project using a simulated robot. The learning curve is steep but rewarding - every small milestone feels like a major achievement!
