Mastering ROS for Robotics Programming : Best practices and troubleshooting solutions when working with ROS, 3/e (Paperback)

The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a software framework used for programming complex robots. ROS enables you to develop software for building complex robots without writing code from scratch, saving valuable development time. Mastering ROS for Robotics Programming provides complete coverage of the advanced concepts using easy-to-understand, practical examples and step-by-step explanations of essential concepts that you can apply in your ROS robotics projects.

The book begins by helping you get to grips with the basic concepts necessary for programming robots with ROS. You'll then discover how to develop a robot simulation as well as an actual robot and understand how to apply high-level capabilities such as navigation and manipulation from scratch. As you advance, you'll learn how to create ROS controllers and plugins and explore ROS's industrial applications and how it interacts with aerial robots. Finally, you'll discover best practices and methods for working with ROS efficiently.

By the end of this ROS book, you'll have learned how to create various applications in ROS and build your first ROS robot.

ROS（Robot Operating System）是一個用於編程複雜機器人的軟體框架。ROS使您能夠開發用於構建複雜機器人的軟體，而無需從頭開始編寫程式碼，節省寶貴的開發時間。《ROS機器人編程的精通》提供了對高級概念的完整覆蓋，並使用易於理解的實際例子和逐步解釋基本概念，這些概念可以應用於您的ROS機器人項目中。

本書首先幫助您瞭解使用ROS編程機器人所需的基本概念。然後，您將發現如何從頭開始開發機器人模擬和實際機器人，並瞭解如何應用高級功能，例如導航和操作。隨著您的進步，您將學習如何創建ROS控制器和插件，並探索ROS在工業應用中的應用以及它如何與空中機器人互動。最後，您將發現使用ROS高效工作的最佳實踐和方法。

通過閱讀本書，您將學習如何在ROS中創建各種應用程序並建立您的第一個ROS機器人。
