ROS standardizes many layers of robotics functionality from low-level device drivers to process control to message passing to software package management. This book provides step-by-step examples of mobile, armed, and flying robots, describing the ROS implementation as the basic model for other robots of these types. By controlling these robots, whether in simulation or in reality, you will use ROS to drive, move, and fly robots using ROS control.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you will learn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet to know the fundamentals of ROS and apply its concepts to real robot examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl a mobile robot to navigate autonomously in an environment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModel your robot designs using URDF and Xacro, and operate them in a ROS Gazebo simulation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl a 7 degree-of-freedom robot arm for visual servoing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFly a quadcopter to autonomous waypoints\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain working knowledge of ROS tools such as Gazebo, rviz, rqt, and Move-It\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl robots with mobile devices and controller boards\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Fairchild,Thomas L.
