Robotics for Programmers

Введение в книгу ： Master the skills you need to program robots and other mechanical systems. Interesting examples and clear explanations guide you through programming robot arms, robots that drive and fly, and mobile manipulators. In Robotics for Programmers you will learn how to: Design robot software systems using standard software engineering skills Control real and simulated robots using the Robot Operating System framework (ROS2) Apply universal robotics principles to ROS and other frameworks Develop software for robot arms, driving and flying robots, and mobile manipulators Work with a robot’s sensors, sensing, planning, acting, and actuators Build for all layers of a robot software stack from low-level close to the hardware, to core robot algorithms and services to application software No special hardware or mechanical engineering skills are required to complete the examples Robotics for Programmers introduces the unique aspects of programming robotic systems using examples and terminology familiar to software engineers. In this enlightening and entertaining book, you’ll learn to combine software components into working solutions for jobs like automated assembly and environmental sensing. As you go, you’ll master robot programming techniques that will upgrade your software engineering skills for complex architectures and related areas like embedded real-time systems.
