Hello all,
I just wanted to know if there are any books on ROS? I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/OPERATING-SYSTE...
but it has no cover or description. Does anyone know anything about this book, or any other books?
Thank you, I appreciate the help.
You have more options now (ordered by my preference):
I would go for #1 or #2 if I were buying a book right now.
Also, there's now a ROS wiki page for books so expect that to be updated - http://wiki.ros.org/Books
i liked this one and it really helped me alot, uses python...
This book is very helpful for beginners www.cse.sc.edu/~jokane/agitr/
Patrick Goebel just released the first ROS book "ROS By Example - Volume 1". You can buy it here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/r-patrick-goebel/ros-by-example-volume-1/ebook/product-20349511.html
Hello everybody! I am a new ROS user and I'm looking for a book too. Could you suggest me something to read over the wiki?
Thank you!
You can start from the tutorials, they pretty much covers everything you need. You can also visit Courses section (ROS wiki) which includes many videos and documents from various events and courses.
The best way I have found to get started with ROS was by the examples, specially those related to turtlebot_simulator: http://www.ros.org/wiki/turtlebot_simulator
I have found a book that is for very beginners. It helped me clarify some ambiguities, and you can download it for free from this link : http://www.cse.sc.edu/~jokane/agitr/ Hope it helps
We have discussed making a book on ROS which would be auto generated from the wiki. However it only was partially finished.
You can check out the code for creating such a manual at: https://code.ros.org/svn/ros/stacks/ros_experimental/trunk/rosmanual
Then run to create the pdf:
./rosmanual.py ros.toc.txt
AFAIK, there are no ROS books yet. I was wondering about your link, and googled for "betascript publishing". From what I gather, they are a rather dubious publishing company - they seem to rip parts of wikipedia and other copyleft sources, and print them in book form. Which is perfectly legal, but I guess what you get is a print version of the ROS wiki or something like that. If I were you, I'd save the $54.44! :-)
