Stop just learning about robotics-start building production grade robots.
Are you tired of fragmented tutorials, outdated ROS 1 content, and the massive gap between a simple "talker-listener" and a truly functional autonomous system? The future of robotics isn't just about understanding algorithms in isolation; it's about mastering the art of system integration and professional deployment. This book is your hands-on, project-based guide to becoming a full-stack robotics engineer using the power of ROS 2
This is not a theoretical reference manual. It is a complete, end-to-end journey that takes you from a blank screen to a fully autonomous mobile manipulator. We will build one comprehensive project, the AMR-1, from the ground up. You will learn the "why" behind each decision, not just the "how."
We start by building the robot's digital twin and bringing it to life in a physics-based Gazebo simulation. We then grant it intelligence, integrating the industrial-grade Nav2 stack for autonomous navigation and the powerful MoveIt2 framework for complex manipulation. But we don't stop there. We bridge the gap to modern AI by teaching you how to integrate a deep learning model for object detection directly into a high-performance C++ ROS 2 node
By the time you finish this book, you won't just know ROS 2; you will have mastered the entire robotics development lifecycle. You will be able to:Master the Full Stack: Confidently design and build complex robots, from writing the URDF and simulating them in Gazebo to orchestrating navigation, perception, and manipulation into a single, cohesive application.Integrate State-of-the-Art AI: Go beyond simple color detection. Learn how to wrap a pre-trained PyTorch model in C++, enabling your robot to perform intelligent, real-time object detection with GPU acceleration.Adopt Professional RobOps Workflows: Leave the "it works on my machine" problem behind forever. Learn to containerize your entire robotics application with Docker for error-free, repeatable deployments and build an automated CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions to test your code like a professional.Bridge the Sim-to-Real Gap: Understand the real-world challenges of hardware deployment. This book provides a practical guide to integrating microcontrollers like the ESP32 with Micro-ROS, calibrating physical sensors, and securing your robot with SROS2.Build a Career-Defining Portfolio Project: The AMR-1 is more than just a learning exercise; it's a comprehensive project that proves your skills in the most in-demand areas of modern robotics, making you a standout candidate for top engineering rolesThis is more than a book; it's your complete toolkit for a successful career in robotics. Whether you are a university student aiming to build an impressive capstone project, a professional software engineer transitioning into the world of autonomy, or an advanced hobbyist ready to build truly intelligent machines, this guide provides the practical, real-world knowledge you need to succeed.
