Revision history [back]

I learned the fundamentals of ROS (Kinetic) + Gazebo via:

• ROS Website Tutorials (online)

• Programming Robot with ROS: A Practical Introduction (book)

• Gazebo Website Tutorials (online)

  • Categorized Tutorials
  • All Tutorials

I've just started to learn ROS and I think the best way to learn it is doing things with it. I get bored if I read or watch videos without doing anything.

In that case (I too struggle to learn things in a vacuum), I recommend that you identify a project/goal that interests you, e.g. face-tracking turret that tracks, identifies, and shoots foam darts at (specific) coworkers.

Once you have an interesting goal, try to achieve it using ROS. You will have a strong incentive to learn about the parts of the ROS ecosystem that are relevant to your goal.
