Building Smart Robots Using ROS: Design, Build, Simulate, Prototype and Control Smart Robots Using ROS, Machine Learning and React Native Platform
This book is a practical introduction to the Robotics operating system (ROS). It will expose you to the essential principles, tools, and packages in ROS and assist you in configuring and recombining components for additional tasks. If you are new to the world of robotics, you will enjoy the companionship of this book as it guides you through the process of building your first robot.
The book introduces robotics and advances through numerous concepts such as sensors and actuators, SLAM, Aruco markers, CAD (computer-aided design), React native application development, image processing in ROS, machine learning and object detection. Every point raised above is illustrated in a live robotics environment. Along the way, other packages required for developing ROS apps will be presented, including serial, OpenCV, and cv bridge. You'll learn about tools like SolidWorks, Moveit, Rviz, as well as simulation platforms like gazebo and turtlesim, which will give you a complete picture of what it takes to build a robot.

Have read the book and I can guarantee that this is a must have book in the shelves of Robotics enthusiasts. This book is certainly a practical handbook that will provide step by step guidance on how you can build your own robot.

Though the book is named " Building smart robots using ROS " , the book is an ' all-inclusive ' read, covering everything you need to know about ROS, 3D Design of robot, React native apps and even AI to get started on robotics. Most of the books about ROS out there focus only on the ROS software part, but this one covers everything, the hardware side, simulations, CAD, using machine vision , integra tion of AI and creating apps to control your robots.
Being in the robotics industry, I can say that the market was missing out on this kind of a book and I wish I had this when I got started on robotics. This book caters to any robotics person looking for a reference/ a handbook and equally to someone who is very new to this domain by explaining things at a very grassroot level.
I should say that the book is quite the welcome hamper and the right pool of information for any robotics enthusiast, be it a student who wants to learn robotics or a professional who is looking forward to a career in robotics.
