Instructor: Dr. Tayyab Zafar
ROS (Robotic Operating System) plays a vital role in the field of robotics and controls. Installing
ROS only requires an operating system like Linux/Ubuntu and may become tedious if errors are
repeating and unsolvable.
Plagiarism is strictly prohibited, and zero marks will be awarded. Use of CHATGPT or AI is
allowed but not recommended. It will only make things harder. Submissions will be taken only on
LMS portal. Submission portal on LMS will be made by the following names: “LabWorkP1” for
part – I, “LabWorkP2” for part – II and “LabWorkP3” for part – III.
Clearly name your files as “NAME_43_SYN”. No late submissions are accepted. If you have
errors for some reason, do submit your work with a proper screenshot of the errors. All parts to be
submitted in the form of well documented PDF.
If you have any query, you can visit my office or contact me through email.
