Key FeaturesBook DescriptionIf you have ever tried building a robot, then you know how cumbersome programming everything from scratch can be. This is where ROS comes into the picture. It is a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions that simplifies the robot building process. What's more, ROS encourages collaborative robotics software development, allowing you to connect with experts in various fields to collaborate and build upon each other's full of examples, this book will help you understand the ROS framework to help you build your own robot applications in a simulated environment and share your knowledge with the large community supporting at an introductory level, this book is a comprehensive guide to the fascinating world of robotics, covering sensor integration, modeling, simulation, computer vision, navigation algorithms, and more. You will then go on to explore concepts like topics, messages, and nodes. Next, you will learn how to make your robot see with HD cameras, or navigate obstacles with range sensors. Furthermore, thanks to the contributions of the vast ROS community, your robot will be able to navigate autonomously, and even recognize and interact with you in a matter of 's new in this updated edition? First and foremost, we are going to work with ROS Hydro this time around. You will learn how to create, visualize, and process Point Cloud information from different sensors. This edition will also show you how to control and plan motion of robotic arms with multiple joints using MoveIt!By the end of this book, you will have all the background you need to build your own robot and get started with you will learnInstall a complete ROS Hydro systemCreate ROS packages and metapackages, using and debugging them in real timeBuild, handle, and debug ROS nodesDesign your 3D robot model and simulate it in a virtual environment within GazeboGenerate and adapt the navigation stack to work with your robotIntegrate different sensors such as Range Laser, Arduino, and Kinect with your robotVisualize and process Point Cloud information from different sensorsControl and plan the motion of robotic arms with multiple joints using MoveIt!Who this book is forIn order to make the most of the book, you should have a C++ programming background, knowledge of GNU/Linux systems, and general skills in computer science. No previous background in ROS is required, as this book takes you from the ground up.
