Key benefits

  • Implement complex simulations using Gazebo, Webots, and CoppeliaSim alongside MoveIt! for motion planning
  • Integrate sensors, vision modules, and I/O boards for real-world robot control
  • Bridge ROS with MATLAB, Simulink, and industrial robots for advanced deployments

Description

The 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.

Who is this book for?

This book is ideal for robotics engineers, researchers, or software developers familiar with Linux and C++ who want to deepen their ROS expertise. It’s especially valuable for those building real-world robot applications using simulation tools, MoveIt!, and sensor integration. A working knowledge of basic ROS concepts is expected.

What you will learn

  • Create a robot model with a 7-DOF robotic arm and a differential wheeled mobile robot
  • Work with Gazebo, CoppeliaSim, and Webots robotic simulators
  • Implement autonomous navigation in differential drive robots using SLAM and AMCL packages
  • Interact with and simulate aerial robots using ROS
  • Explore ROS pluginlib, ROS nodelets, and Gazebo plugins
  • Interface I/O boards such as Arduino, robot sensors, and high-end actuators
  • Simulate and perform motion planning for an ABB robot and a universal arm using ROS-Industrial
  • Work with the motion planning features of a 7-DOF arm using MoveIt

This book is quite thorough, and gives the ROS beginner an excellent introduction in the first 2 chapters. Then it goes on to 3D modeling and simulations with various programs that work with ROS. It covers how to use ROS for navigation, and even advanced topics like servo controllers. There are chapters on interfacing with I/O sensors and board activators, actuators, vision sensors, differential drives...and THEN it gets into the advanced stuff. In this advanced section are many things like creating plugins, controllers and nodelets; working with Matlab, industrial robots, and so much more. If you want a book to cover almost anything you could want to use a robot for, this is the book for you.

The book goes over concepts well. I haven't had a lot of time to go over it in depth, but from what I have read I can recommend it.

This book is quite practical. As a beginner of ROS, I feel very comfortable getting started with the examples this book provided. You have to be patient to finish this book since it has 500+ pages :). Overall, it is an awesome book worth reading! Thanks, authors!

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
