Description
Developing novel robot applications can be challenging, but with the right guidance, you can overcome obstacles. This practical book provides a set of recipes for solving specific robotics use cases using the Robot Operating System (ROS). By combining real-world examples with valuable knowledge from the ROS community, you'll learn how to program robots that perform increasingly complex behaviors. You'll discover how to complete tasks described in the recipes, as well as how to configure and recombine components for other tasks. If you're familiar with Python, you're ready to go. The book covers key ROS concepts, tools, and patterns, allowing you to integrate your own sensors, actuators, software libraries, and even a whole robot into the ROS ecosystem. To get the most out of this book, you'll learn how to use ROS tools and community resources, debug robot behavior, and work with C++ in ROS. With this knowledge, you can create robots that incorporate perception and navigation abilities, making them more capable and efficient.
