Résumé
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 robot will 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.
Robot Operating System for Absolute Beginners
Chapter 1: Getting Started with Ubuntu/Linux for Robotics This chapter will give the basic foundation of Ubuntu Linux. Starting from the fundamentals, installation and useful commands which are using while building and programming a robot, we will also see useful software applications which can be used while making robots.
Chapter 2: Fundamentals of Python and C++ for Robotic Programming Programming robots can be done using any of the programming languages. Most popular programming languages are Python and C++. In this chapter, we will see fundamentals of Python which are mainly used for programming robots. This chapter will also cover C++ and the important topics needed to program a robot.
Chapter 3: Kick starting Robot Operating System
This chapter starts discussing Robot Operating System, Fundamentals, Installing, ROS tools and ROS commands it on Ubuntu.
Chapter 4: Programming with ROS This chapter is fully focused on programming ROS using C++ and Python. We will see some example code in this chapter.
Chapter 5: Building and programming mobile robot using ROS This is a hands-on project which is used to apply all concepts of ROS that we discussed in the above chapters. We will see some more concepts which will explain in the appropriate sections. The aim of the project is to perform a dead-reckoning using a cheap mobile robot. We can command robot position on Rviz and robot will move to that position.
