A Systematic Approach to Learning Robot Programming with ROS, 1st Edition, introduces the essential components of the Robot Operating System through simple code examples paired with operational theory.
The volume covers core ROS tools, node development, and messaging frameworks alongside simulation, coordinate transforms, and perceptual processing with cameras and point clouds. It also explores mobile robot navigation, robotic arm kinematics, and integrated manipulation systems.
Intended to support continuing education, the textbook prepares readers to navigate and interpret existing online ROS documentation. Practical examples appear throughout the text, supplemented by C++ code examples hosted on GitHub.
