Opis

This practical book on mobile robotics delves into the very latest open source hardware and software technologies. It introduces readers to the best materials available for building their own robots, giving special attention to the Robot Operating System (ROS), which nowhere else has been covered as thoroughly or in-context. The book takes readers beyond basic introductory texts, exposing them to possible applications of cutting-edge research. The book is designed for hobbyists and researchers but also is suitable for the classroom.
