Start programming your own robots using Robot Operation System (ROS). Targeted for absolute
beginners in ROS Linux and Python this guide lets you build your own robotics projects.
You'll learn the basic foundation of Ubuntu Linux. Begin with the fundamentals. Installation
and useful commands will give you the basic tools you need while programming a robot. Then add
useful software applications that can be used while making robots. Programming robots can be
done using any of the programming languages. Most popular programming languages are Python and
C++. You will incorporate the fundamentals of C++ by learning object oriented programing
concepts from example and building C++ projects. Finally tackle an ROS hands-on project to
apply all the concepts of ROS you've learned. The aim of the project is to perform a
dead-reckoning using a cheap mobile robot. You can command your robot's position on Rviz and
your robotwill move to that position! Not only will you learn to program you'll gain hands-on
experience working with hardware to create a real robot. What You'll Learn Install Ubuntu 20
Install ROS Noetic Use ROS Programming with roscpp and rospy Build a mobile robot from scratch
using ROS Who This Book Is For Robotics enthusiast with little or no prior programming
experience.
