Build a variety of awesome robots that can see, sense, move, and do a
lot more using the powerful Robot Operating System
Key Features:
-
Create and program cool robotic projects using powerful ROS libraries
-
Work through concrete examples that will help you build your own
robotic systems of varying complexity levels
-
This book provides relevant and fun-filled examples so you can make
your own robots that can run and work
Book Description:
Robot Operating System is one of the most widely used software
frameworks for robotic research and for companies to model, simulate,
and prototype robots. Applying your knowledge of ROS to actual robotics
is much more difficult than people realize, but this title will give you
what you need to create your own robotics in no time!
This book is packed with over 14 ROS robotics projects that can be
prototyped without requiring a lot of hardware. The book starts with an
introduction of ROS and its installation procedure. After discussing the
basics, you'll be taken 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 ROS robotics applications for
beginner, intermediate, and expert levels inside!
This book will be the perfect companion for a robotics enthusiast who
really wants to do something big in the field.
