"I don't know where to start."

This is probably the biggest excuse you give when starting to learn robotics and artificial intelligence. 

​

In a certain sense, it is not really an excuse. It is perhaps even valid! 

​

In today's day and age there is an abundance of resources made available to each and everyone of us. On the click of a button, you can get access to the best video lectures from the top universities in the world. You get access to novel projects and repositories contributed by great content creators and robotics and machine learning engineers and researchers. A variety of different types of courses are available to each and every one of us at a very nominal cost. 

Hi everyone,I am currently working on a UAV project using Gazebo, ROS 2, and PX4. Over the past two days, I have been trying to find reliable resources on how to implement obstacle avoidance for a quadcopter, but I have not been able to locate anything sufficiently clear or complete.

The only references that seem promising so far are:

https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Avoidance/tree/ros2?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-startedand this thesis: https://webthesis.biblio.polito.it/36527/1/tesi.pdf

At the moment, I can switch the drone to Offboard mode in C++ and communicate with the PX4 control stack (arming etc. is working correctly). My initial idea is to use the Nav2 stack for obstacle avoidance, but I would like to know if there are better approaches or more suitable frameworks specifically for UAVs.

If anyone has experience, resources, or can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Chandadeep, I am interviewing currently and a common exercise i get is a technical test comprised of me running shell commands or ros packages from terminal. It is for a field robotics role. How best can I prepare? I am currently watching the ubuntu YT tutorial, but what else do I need? Thanks
