Who Is Teaching You

Not influencers. Not tutorial makers. Two Master's graduates in Computer Science who've spent 18 years figuring out how to make hard things click.

MSc Computer Science

CS teacher in public school since 2007. Co-founded Junior Robotics Lab after discovering that students who ignored abstract code became completely engaged the moment a robot was involved. That same project-first approach now drives every RosForge session.

RosForge — Industrial ROS2

From Simulation
to Real Hardware.

All systems developed in this program are compatible with real platforms. You are learning deployment-grade architecture, not just toy examples.

TurtleBot3
Custom Differential Robots
LiDAR-based Mobile Robots

"Designed to run on real platforms like TurtleBot3 using ROS 2 Jazzy and Navigation2 stack."

LIVE · Gazebo simulation running Nav2 stack

Build a Fully Autonomous System.

12 weeks. One real project. A GitHub portfolio that speaks louder than any certificate.

Deploy Nav2 Stack

Implement autonomous navigation from scratch.

Launch SLAM in Simulation

Map unknown environments in real-time.

Tune Navigation Parameters

Fine-tune how your robot avoids obstacles and plans its path — the skill that separates a working robot from a reliable one.

YOUR CAPSTONE
SLAM Toolbox · Live Map

Is This Your Moment?

You don't need robotics experience. You need to see what's coming — and decide you want to be ready for it.

This Is For You If:

  • You see AI displacing software jobs and want to pivot into a field that still needs human engineers.
  • You want to be in robotics before it's crowded — not after everyone else has already moved.
  • You know Python basics and Linux fundamentals — you just need the right structure to build real systems.
  • You want a portfolio project — not a certificate — that proves your competence to any employer.

This Is NOT For:

  • People who have never written a line of code. This is not where you start.
  • Passive learners collecting certificates to add to a LinkedIn profile.
  • People looking for the easy path. Robotics is hard. That's exactly why the opportunity is there.

Prerequisites

To succeed in this program, you should have:

Basic Python programming
Functions and classes.
Familiarity with command line
If you've used Windows CMD before, you're good to go.
A capable laptop
Able to run Windows 11 or Ubuntu 24.04.
No prior experience with ROS 2 is required.

What You Will Build

A structured path from zero to a fully autonomous system.

Week 1-2

ROS2 Fundamentals

Nodes, Topics, Services, Actions, and Launch files.

Week 3-5

System Architecture

Building robust robot applications and managing complexity.

Week 6-8

SLAM & Mapping

Implementing Simultaneous Localization and Mapping.

Week 9-10

Nav2 Stack

Setting up autonomous navigation, path planning, and behavior trees.

Week 11-12

Optimization & Deployment

Parameter tuning, debugging, and final project polish.

Small Cohort. Real Mentorship.

10 people maximum. We review your code, we know your name, we track your progress.

June 2026 · Starts June 1st · Applications reviewed in order received.

12-Week ROS2 Mentorship

Limited to 10 students. No exceptions.

ROS2 engineers are hired globally — remote, relocation, and freelance opportunities are growing fast.
This program positions you for the market before it fully arrives in Tunisia.

Questions We Get Every Time

Yes — if you know basic Python and can navigate a terminal. No robotics knowledge needed. We start from zero.
10 people max means we notice. Sessions are recorded. The private group is active between sessions.
No. Everything runs in Gazebo simulation — the same way professional teams develop before touching hardware. The code deploys to real robots unchanged.
A working autonomous navigation system on GitHub — documented, presentable, yours. Plus permanent access to the cohort group.
Free tutorials teach concepts. This program changes your career trajectory. The engineers entering robotics in 2026 will have years of experience by the time the market peaks.

The Market Is Moving.
Get In Before Everyone Else Does.
