Robotics for Coders: Creating Autonomous Systems with ROS : A Hands-On Guide to Robot Programming, Simulation, and AI Integration
What if you could turn your coding skills into real robots that move, think, and learn?
Have you ever wondered how self-driving cars navigate streets, how drones map landscapes, or how warehouse robots move with precision? What if you could build and program these kinds of systems—without needing an engineering degree or expensive equipment?
Robotics for Creating Autonomous Systems with ROS is your hands-on guide to bringing robots to life using ROS 2 (Robot Operating System)—the same framework powering robots at Amazon, Tesla, NASA, and beyond. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a student, or a professional developer, this book empowers you to go from writing code to creating real autonomous systems.
What You’ll Discover ✔ Step-by-step guidance on setting up ROS 2, programming your first nodes in Python and C++, and simulating robots in Gazebo.
✔ Practical robotics fundamentals: sensors, actuators, kinematics, and navigation explained simply for coders.
✔ AI integration made easy: learn to connect ROS with TensorFlow and PyTorch for object detection, perception, and decision-making.
✔ Hands-on projects that build your skills—navigate a maze, simulate delivery robots, or train a robotic arm with reinforcement learning.
✔ Affordable, accessible robotics: build and deploy robots with Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, or entirely in simulation—no expensive lab required.
✔ Real-world applications: dive into autonomous vehicles, drones, warehouse robots, and multi-robot systems.
Why This Book?Unlike traditional robotics texts heavy on theory, Robotics for Coders is written for programmers, by a programmer. If you can code in Python or C++, you already have the tools to succeed. This book bridges the gap between coding and robotics, giving you practical, portfolio-worthy projects you can showcase to employers, classmates, or your maker community.
Who Is This For?Hobbyists & Makers who want to build smarter robots.
Students & Educators seeking a practical learning roadmap.
Developers & Professionals looking to break into robotics careers.
Curious Coders who want to explore the frontier of AI + robotics.
⚡ Your code can change the world. Your robots can shape the future. Don’t just dream about autonomous systems—build them.
