Robot Operating System

Robot Operating System

    ROS is an open-source robotic middleware for the large-scale development of complex robotic systems. Although the research community is quite active in developing applications with ROS and extending its features, the amount of references does not translate the huge amount of work being done. The objective of the book is to provide the reader with a comprehensive coverage of the Robot Operating Systems (ROS) and the latest related systems, which is currently considered as the main development framework for robotics applications.
