You can forget about a book and all that. My advice is to start from here and move on by simply googling for general projects with ROS that handle 3D object recognition. If I'm not mistaken there is actually a Ubuntu-port for the BeagleBone. Also BeagleBone (as far as I know) has an ARM processor so things should be close to a development environment such as the Raspberry Pi. The low level stuff in BeagleBone (like accessing the GPIOs) is not ROS related and you should look for some tutorials on that somewhere else. Basically you have to:

  • Learn how BeagleBone works
  • Get your hands on a Linux distribution which runs on BeagleBone (Debian-based is probably the simplest way since ROS is officially supported only on Ubuntu systems)
  • Build from source (if no pre-build of ROS is available for BeagleBone - again check the link I've posted above)
  • Once you've setup your ROS environment the rest is basically checking some ROS tutorials on the topic of 3D object recognition combined with some BeagleBone-specific code (for example blink an LED if an object has been recognized etc.).
