Overview of this book

Robot Operating System (ROS) is one of the most popular robotics software frameworks in research and industry. It has various features for implementing different capabilities in a robot without implementing them from scratch. This book starts by showing you the fundamentals of ROS so you understand the basics of differential robots. Then, you'll learn about robot modeling and how to design and simulate it using ROS. Moving on, we'll design robot hardware and interfacing actuators. Then, you'll learn to configure and program depth sensors and LIDARs using ROS. Finally, you'll create a GUI for your robot using the Qt framework. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a clear idea of how to integrate and assemble everything into a robot and how to bundle the software package.

Modeling the Differential Drive Robot

In this chapter, we will look at how to model the differential drive robot and create the URDF model of this robot in ROS. The main use case of the robot that we are going to design in this chapter is to serve food and drinks in hotels and restaurants. The robot is named Chefbot. We will cover the complete modeling of this robot in this chapter.

We will look at the CAD design of various mechanical components used in this robot and how to assemble them. We will look at the 2D and 3D CAD design of this robot and will discuss how to create the URDF model of the robot.

The actual robot model deployed in hotels may be big in size, but here we intend to build a miniature version for testing our software. If you are interested in building a robot from scratch, this chapter is for you. If you are not interested in building the robot, you can choose...
