Articulated Robotics

Articulated Robotics is an Australian robotics education platform created and run by Josh Newans, a mechatronics engineer based in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. The platform specializes in making robotics accessible to engineers, students, and hobbyists through high-quality tutorials, blog posts, and open-source projects centered on the Robot Operating System (ROS and ROS2).

The flagship content includes a widely referenced YouTube channel and website tutorial series covering differential drive robot builds, ROS2 navigation (Nav2), SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), and simulation with Gazebo. The open-source project 'articubot_one' has been adopted by the global ROS community as a reference implementation for learning mobile robot development.

Articulated Robotics also hosts an active community forum (Discourse) where learners and developers collaborate on robotics projects. Josh Newans contributes software utilities and ROS packages, and has presented at community events such as ROSCon.

The platform serves the Education and Research application domain, targeting university students, self-taught engineers, and robotics enthusiasts worldwide. It operates as a content and open-source project entity rather than a traditional product manufacturer.
