Hi everyone, :slight_smile:

I’m happy to announce a new ROS book: “ROS Robot Programming, A Handbook is written by TurtleBot3 Developers”. Now, this book has been published English and Chinese versions. You can download the pdf of this book.

The authors of the book want to say thanks to Morgan, Tully, Brian of OpenRobotics and all ROS development team, maintainers and contributors. This book is an expression of gratitude to all ROS community members. We hope this book help on that effort and look forward to everything we can do with you in the future.

Thanks!

[Description]
This book is a ROS robot programming guide based on the experiences we had accumulated from ROS projects like TurtleBot3, OpenCR and OpenManipulator. We tried to make this a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects necessary for a beginner in ROS. Topics such as embedded system, mobile robots, and robot arms programmed with ROS are included. For those who are new to ROS, there are footnotes throughout the book providing more information on the web. Through this book, we hope that more people will be aware of and participate in bringing forward the ever-accelerating collective knowledge of Robotics Engineering.

[This Handbook is written for]
College students and graduate students who want to learn robot programming based on ROS (Robot Operating system) and also for professional researchers and engineers who work on robot development or software programming.
We have tried to offer detailed information we learned while working on TurtleBot3 and OpenManipulator. We hope this book will be the complete handbook for beginners in ROS and more people will contribute to the ever-growing community of open robotics.

@Aarambh_2022, I’m making a drone as a hobby, but I don’t have much experience with drones. HaHa

16

so is it possible to mingle the ideas mentioned in the book while building a drone,what’s say
