Description
Want to develop novel robot applications, but don’t know the way to write a mapping or object-recognition system? You’re not alone, but you’re on no account without lend a hand. By combining real-world examples with valuable knowledge from the Robot Operating System (ROS) community, this practical book provides a set of motivating recipes for solving specific robotics use cases.
Ideal for enthusiasts, from students in robotics clubs to professional robotics scientists and engineers, each and every recipe describes a complete solution the usage of ROS open source libraries and tools. You’ll learn to complete tasks described in the recipes, in addition to how to configure and recombine components for other tasks. If you’re aware of Python, you’re in a position to go.
- Learn fundamentals, including key ROS concepts, tools, and patterns
- Program robots that perform an an increasing number of complex set of behaviors, the usage of the powerful packages in ROS
- See how to easily add perception and navigation abilities to your robots
- Integrate your own sensors, actuators, software libraries, and even a whole robot into the ROS ecosystem
- Learn tips and tricks for the usage of ROS tools and community resources, debugging robot behavior, and the usage of C++ in ROS
