Welcome to the Hello Robots repository! This repository serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the basics of ROS (Robot Operating System) using C++. You'll find a collection of code examples, tutorials, and resources that will help you dive into the world of ROS and explore its practical applications, from simulated robots to real robots.
ROS, or Robot Operating System, is a flexible framework for writing robot software. It provides a set of libraries and tools that help developers create robust and modular robot applications. ROS is widely used in the robotics community and offers a wealth of resources and support.
To get started with Hello Robots, follow these steps:
-
Install ROS: Visit the official ROS website (http://www.ros.org) for installation instructions specific to your operating system. Make sure to install the appropriate version of ROS.
-
Clone this Repository: Use the following command to clone this repository to your local machine:
you@you:~$ git clone https://github.com/seifEddy/hello_robots.git-
Explore the Code: Navigate through the repository to find example code, tutorials, and projects that demonstrate various aspects of ROS using C++. Feel free to modify and experiment with the code to deepen your understanding.
-
Set Up Your Workspace: Follow the instructions in the provided tutorials to set up your ROS workspace. This will allow you to compile and run the ROS packages included in this repository.
-
Run Simulations: Experiment with simulated robots using tools like Gazebo and Rviz. Learn how to control robots, visualize sensor data, and implement algorithms within the ROS framework.
-
Connect with Real Robots: Once you feel comfortable with ROS simulations, explore the practical applications of ROS with real robots. Connect sensors, actuators, and other hardware components to your ROS system and build exciting robotic applications.
