商品描述

Learning how to build and program your own robots with the most popular open source robotics programming framework

About This Book

  • Get to know the fundamentals of ROS and apply its concepts to real examples
  • Learn how to write robotics applications without getting bogged down in hardware problems
  • Learn to implement best practices in ROS development

Who This Book Is For

This book is for robotic enthusiasts, researchers and professional robotics engineers who would like to build robot applications using ROS. It gives the robotics beginner and the ROS newbie an immensely practical introduction to robot building and robotics application coding. Basic knowledge of GNU/Linux and the ability to write simple applications is assumed, but no robotics knowledge, practical or theoretical, is needed.

What You Will Learn

  • Control a robot without requiring a PhD in robotics
  • Simulate and control a robot arm
  • Control a flying robot
  • Send your robot on an independent mission
  • Learning how to control your own robots with external devices
  • Program applications running on your robot
  • Extend ROS itself
  • Extend ROS with the MATLAB Robotics System Toolbox

In Detail

ROS is a robust robotics framework that works regardless of hardware architecture or hardware origin. It standardizes most layers of robotics functionality from device drivers to process control and message passing to software package management.

But apart from just plain functionality, ROS is a great platform to learn about robotics itself and to simulate, as well as actually build, your first robots. This does not mean that ROS is a platform for students and other beginners; on the contrary, ROS is used all over the robotics industry to implement flying, walking and diving robots, yet implementation is always straightforward, and never dependent on the hardware itself.

ROS Robotics has been the standard introduction to ROS for potential professionals and hobbyists alike since the original edition came out; the second edition adds a gradual introduction to all the goodness available with the Kinetic Kame release.

By providing you with step-by-step examples including manipulator arms and flying robots, the authors introduce you to the new features. The book is intensely practical, with space given to theory only when absolutely necessary. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience on controlling robots with the best possible framework.

Style and approach

ROS Robotics By Example, Second Edition gives the robotics beginner as well as the ROS newbie an immensely practical introduction to robot building and robotics application coding. ROS translates as "robot operating system"; you will learn how to control a robot via devices and configuration files, but you will also learn how to write robot applications on the foundation of this operating system.

- 學習如何使用外部設備控制你自己的機器人
- 編寫運行在你的機器人上的應用程序
- 擴展ROS本身
- 使用MATLAB機器人系統工具箱擴展ROS

詳細內容

ROS是一個強大的機器人框架,不受硬件架構或硬件來源的限制。它標準化了從設備驅動程序到過程控制、消息傳遞到軟件包管理的大部分機器人功能層。

除了功能之外,ROS還是一個學習機器人本身以及模擬和實際構建第一個機器人的絕佳平台。這並不意味著ROS只適用於學生和初學者;相反,ROS在整個機器人行業中被用於實現飛行、行走和潛水機器人,但實現始終簡單明了,並且不依賴於硬件本身。

自從第一版問世以來,《ROS Robotics》一直是潛在專業人士和愛好者的標準ROS入門書籍;第二版則逐步介紹了Kinetic Kame版本的所有新功能。

通過提供包括機械臂和飛行機器人在內的逐步示例,作者向讀者介紹了這些新功能。本書非常實用,只在必要時才涉及理論。通過閱讀本書,你將親身體驗使用最佳框架控制機器人的實踐經驗。

風格和方法

《ROS Robotics By Example, Second Edition》為機器人初學者和ROS新手提供了非常實用的機器人構建和機器人應用編程入門。ROS翻譯為“機器人操作系統”;你將學習如何通過設備和配置文件來控制機器人,同時還將學習如何在這個操作系統的基礎上編寫機器人應用程序。
