Hi everyone, I was wondering, what should i do after the firs tutorials to improve my knowledge on ROS ? is there some corrected exercise we can find on the net ? do you think it is interesting to work on some rasberry pi to begin ? Do you have some cheap hardware "ROS Friendly" to begin to work with ?

Furthermore, do you know some good book to learning efficiently ROS ? I have the feeling, i'm beggining to know some of the theory, but i still have to practice !

What do you mean by "corrected exercise"?

I don't know (and that's why i'm here). For instance having a Gazebo model of a robot, and having to write some publisher to operate a precise function or configurate of a packet for a specific case etc...

Because you used the word "corrected" I thought that you were having trouble with the tutorials, as in they are somehow "incorrect."

While it's good to start your own project, I do recommend you to get some ROS books and play with the code a lot, I've used "Mastering ROS for Robotics Programming" and it's quite good and you can follow their code with their repo here. It goes quite in depth and guides you towards areas like motion planning, perception, sensor use, arduinos, raspberries and the whole stack, even some ROS Industrial like in the image: image description

Also, another piece of beauty is "Programming Robots with ROS" their repo is here, that book was made by the official maintainers of ROS, the OSRF guys. Be aware that this one is mostly in python, while the Master ROS book is mostly C++, so it's also good to keep that in mind.

I do like Peter's suggestion of getting hands on a project, but it wouldn't hurt at all to play with some already finished products to see how it all goes.

Best of luck!!!

Thank you ! I was wondering if buying "Mastering ROS for Robotics Programming" worth it !

My advice to you would be to decide on a robotic project you're interested in and pursue this using ROS to develop your knowledge.

Small mobile robots using the Raspberry Pi are a great place to start, they're small relatively cheap and there are ROS systems all setup and ready to use for them. The german robots website has a link to a raspberry pi image with ubuntu mate and ROS ready to go, you can find it under the heading 'Raspberry Pi 3 Ubuntu with ROS'.

The best way to learn ROS is to use it and to use it you need a project.
