ROS Robotics By Example. This is an easy-to-follow guide with hands-on examples of ROS robots, both real and in simulation Carol Fairchild, Dr. Thomas L. Harman

Bring life to your robot using ROS robotic applications Key Features This book will help you boost your knowledge of ROS and give you advanced practical experience you can apply to your ROS robot platformsThis is the only book that offers you step-by-step instructions to solidify your ROS understanding and gain experience using ROS toolsFrom eminent authors, this book offers you a plethora of fun-filled examples to make your own quadcopter, turtlebot, and two-armed robots Book DescriptionThe visionaries who created ROS developed a framework for robotics centered on the commonality of robotic systems and exploited this commonality in ROS to expedite the development of future robotic systems.From the fundamental concepts to advanced practical experience, this book will provide you with an incremental knowledge of the ROS framework, the backbone of the robotics evolution. ROS standardizes many layers of robotics functionality from low-level device drivers to process control to message passing to software package management. This book provides step-by-step examples of mobile, armed, and flying robots, describing the ROS implementation as the basic model for other robots of these types. By controlling these robots, whether in simulation or in reality, you will use ROS to drive, move, and fly robots using ROS control. What you will learnGet to know the fundamentals of ROS and apply its concepts to real robot examplesControl a mobile robot to navigate autonomously in an environmentModel your robot designs using URDF and Xacro, and operate them in a ROS Gazebo simulationControl a 7 degree-of-freedom robot arm for visual servoingFly a quadcopter to autonomous waypointsGain working knowledge of ROS tools such as Gazebo, rviz, rqt, and Move-ItControl robots with mobile devices and controller boards Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге ROS Robotics By Example.
