Docker for Robotics
Docker for Robotics is a practical course for robotics learners and engineers who want to build clean, portable, and reproducible development environments for ROS and ROS2 projects.
The course solves a common robotics problem: broken dependencies, messy Ubuntu setups, incompatible packages, and projects that only work on one machine.
Students will learn Docker from a robotics perspective: images, containers, Dockerfiles, volumes, bind mounts, networking, Docker Compose, GUI tools in Docker, and VS Code workflows.
The course should include practical lessons on creating a ROS2 Docker image, running containers, persisting data, mounting workspaces, using RViz/Gazebo/rqt from Docker, and organizing robotics projects for simulation, hardware integration, and deployment.
The final outcome: students stop fighting environment issues and start working with a cleaner, more professional robotics workflow.
