Design, build, and simulate complex robots using the Robot Operating SystemKey FeaturesBecome proficient in ROS programming using C++ with this comprehensive guideBuild complex robot applications using the ROS Noetic Ninjemys release to interface robot manipulators with mobile robotsLearn to interact with aerial robots using ROSBook DescriptionThe Robot Operating System (ROS) is a software framework used for programming complex robots. ROS enables you to develop software for building complex robots without writing code from scratch, saving valuable development time. Mastering ROS for Robotics Programming provides complete coverage of the advanced concepts using easy-to-understand, practical examples and step-by-step explanations of essential concepts that you can apply to your ROS robotics projects.The book begins by helping you get to grips with the basic concepts necessary for programming robots with ROS. You'll then discover how to develop a robot simulation, as well as an actual robot, and understand how to apply high-level capabilities such as navigation and manipulation from scratch. As you advance, you'll learn how to create ROS controllers and plugins and explore ROS's industrial applications and how it interacts with aerial robots. Finally, you'll discover best practices and methods for working with ROS efficiently.By the end of this ROS book, you'll have learned how to create various applications in ROS and build your first ROS robot.What you will learnCreate a robot model with a 7-DOF robotic arm and a differential wheeled mobile robotWork with Gazebo, CoppeliaSim, and Webots robotic simulatorsImplement autonomous navigation in differential drive robots using SLAM and AMCL packagesInteract with and simulate aerial robots using ROSExplore ROS pluginlib, ROS nodelets, and Gazebo pluginsInterface I/O boards such as Arduino, robot sensors, and high-end actuatorsSimulate and perform motion planning for an ABB robot and a universal arm using ROS-IndustrialWork with the motion planning features of a 7-DOF arm using MoveItWho this book is forIf you are a robotics graduate, robotics researcher, or robotics software professional looking to work with ROS, this book is for you.
