THE FUTURE IS HERE

Human Pose Estimation with AI in ROS 2 | Robotics Developers Open Class 193

In this Open Class, we’ll explore how to detect specific human poses using YOLO and ROS 2!

You will learn:
✏️ What is Pose estimation and how can it be helpful in robotics?
✏️ Introduction to YOLO
✏️ Create a Human Pose Estimation node for ROS 2

Pose estimation is a task that involves identifying the location of specific points in an image, usually referred to as keypoints. This technique is used to detect the arrangement of body parts (like joints and limbs in humans or specific points on objects) and understand how they are positioned in space. This perception technique has many applications, including robotics or gaming.

============================

ROS Developers Open Class, a weekly free live-streaming event by The Construct AI, aims to make robotics accessible to all.

Each session provides a ROS-based project (referred to as ROSJECTs 🦾 📁) for all attendees, including notebooks, code, and Gazebo robot simulations. Led by ROS expert Alberto Ezquerro, you’ll practice and develop robots in real-time.
