Overview of this book

This book will leverage the power of ROS with an introduction to its core and advanced concepts through exciting recipes. You will get acquainted with the use of different synchronous and asynchronous communication methods, including messages, services, and actions. You will learn how to use the various debugging and visualization tools used in development and how to interface sensors and actuators with the ROS framework. Firstly, you will get to grips with ROS simulation frameworks, such as Gazebo and RotorS for modeling and simulating any physical robot and virtual environment. You will also cover mobile robotics, micro-aerial vehicles, and robotic arms, which are the leading branches of robotic applications. Robot Operating System Cookbook will also guide you in the development of an autonomous navigation framework for both mobile robots and micro-aerial vehicles. Finally, you will explore ROS-Industrial, an open source project that extends the advanced capabilities of ROS software to manufacturing industries.

Interfacing the mobile robot to the navigation stack

In the previous section, we learned how to configure our robot so that it can be used with the navigation stack, and in this section, we will learn how to configure the navigation stack and its integration with the robot. All the work done in the previous section has been a prerequisite to this. This is the time the robot comes alive.

Getting ready

In this section, we will discuss and learn the following:

  • Understand how the navigation stack works
  • Configure all the necessary parameters of the navigation stack using configuration files
  • Develop launch files to start the navigation stack with our robot

Before we begin, download the chapter7_tutorial source code from GitHub...
