A beginner’s guide to learn ROS, robotics platform, and practice building robotics system
Key Features
● A step-by-step guide covering the robot's design, assembly, navigation and control.
● Numerous techniques, ROS packages, object detection and image processing concepts included.
● Practical exercises and sample codes to robotics design, simulation, and visualization tools.
Description
This book is a practical introduction to the Robotics operating system (ROS). It will expose you to the essential principles, tools, and packages in ROS and assist you in configuring and recombining components for additional tasks. If you are new to the world of robotics, you will enjoy the companionship of this book as it guides you through the process of building your first robot.
The book introduces robotics and advances through numerous concepts such as sensors and actuators, SLAM, Aruco markers, CAD (computer-aided design), React native application development, image processing in ROS, machine learning and object detection. Every point raised above is illustrated in a live robotics environment. Along the way, other packages required for developing ROS apps will be presented, including serial, OpenCV, and cv bridge. You'll learn about tools like SolidWorks, Moveit, Rviz, as well as simulation platforms like gazebo and turtlesim, which will give you a complete picture of what it takes to build a robot.
This book presents an in-depth examination of Robot Operating Systems (ROS), the sole foundation for developing robotics applications. The book guides the readers through investigating and embedding machine learning code to introduce intelligence into the robot.
What you will learn
● Develop a stronghold on basics of robotics with code samples and illustrations.
● Familiarity with ROS, the configuration of nodes, and 3D robot simulations.
● Learn how to publish data to the ROS network for web integration.
● Learn about SLAM, CAD, React Native, and ROS image processing.
● Learn about Artificial Intelligence principles and object detection with ROS.
● Complete design, simulation, and assembly of a robot.
Who this book is for
The book is aimed at robotics developers, hardware product designers, full-stack application developers, machine learning enthusiasts, and students who want to obtain real-world experience in robotics development from start to finish. Having some experience with Ubuntu and the python programming language would be helpful.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
