The second training session was held as part of the “RoboCode III” robotics coding camp.

During the session titled “Analysis of ROS2 Node and Topic Structure and Practical Implementation,” participants explored the logic of nodes in ROS2, message flow management through topics, and the working principles of the publisher–subscriber model through practical examples.

Throughout the training, participants worked on message transmission and building internal communication processes within the system based on real-world scenarios. They gained both a solid theoretical foundation and deeper understanding by applying their knowledge directly in code.
