This learning path is designed to help you
program and build your robots using open
source ROS libraries and tools. We start
with the installation and basic concepts,
then continue with the more complex
modules available in ROS, such as
sensor and actuator integration (drivers),
navigation and mapping (so you can
create an autonomous mobile robot),
manipulation, computer vision, perception
in 3D with PCL, and more.
We then discuss advanced concepts in
robotics and how to program using ROS.
You'll get a deep overview of the ROS
framework, which will give you a clear
idea of how ROS really works. During the
course of the book, you will learn how
to build models of complex robots, and
simulate and interface the robot using the
ROS MoveIt motion planning library and
ROS navigation stacks.
We'll go through great projects such as
building a self-driving car, an autonomous
mobile robot, and image recognition
using deep learning and ROS. You can
find beginner, intermediate, and expert
ROS robotics applications inside!
