The practical session will allow students to get their hands on a 7DoF simulated robotic manipulator arm (e.g. Franka Emika Panda), using ROS, rviz, and potentially Gazebo, to control it in simulation, to sense the environment with simulated sensors, and interact with the environment by performing grasps of small objects.
