The Robotics Academy is a framework designed for learning robotics and computer vision through a collection of robot programming exercises. Currently, the platform offers 26 exercises and 11 prototype exercises that students can access through the RoboticsAcademy docker image (RADI), which comes pre-installed with all necessary dependencies. The RADI is a key component of the platform, and this project aims to improve it by migrating it to ROS2 Humble Hawksbill from the current ROS noetic version, which is nearing its end of life (2025). The project will involve implementing a few exercises in ROS2 with the new RADI as well as the addition of ROS2 tools such as RViz2 to exercises. Additionally, the project may explore topics such as size optimization, multi-rosdistro docker images, and hardware acceleration.
