Learning how to build and program your own robots with the most popular open source robotics programming framework About This Book Get to know the fundamentals of ROS and apply its concepts to real examples Learn how to write robotics applications without getting bogged down in hardware problems Learn to implement best practices in ROS development Who This Book Is For This book is for robotic enthusiasts, researchers and professional robotics engineers who would like to build robot applications using ROS. It gives the robotics beginner and the ROS newbie an immensely practical introduction to robot building and robotics application coding. Basic knowledge of GNU/Linux and the ability to write simple applications is assumed, but no robotics knowledge, practical or theoretical, is needed. What You Will Learn Control a robot without requiring a PhD in robotics Simulate and control a robot arm Control a flying robot Send your robot on an independent mission Learning how to control your own robots with external devices Program applications running on your robot Extend ROS itself Extend ROS with the MATLAB Robotics System Toolbox In Detail ROS is a robust robotics framework that works regardless of hardware architecture or hardware origin. It standardizes most layers of robotics functionality from device drivers to process control and message passing to software package management. But apart from just plain functionality, ROS is a great platform to learn about robotics itself and to simulate, as well as actually build, your first robots. This does not mean that ROS is a platform for students and other beginners; on the contrary, ROS is used all over the robotics industry to implement flying, walking and diving robots, yet implementation is always straightforward, and never dependent on the hardware itself. ROS Robotics has been the standard introduction to ROS for potential professionals and hobbyists alike since the original edition came out; the second edition adds a gradual introduction to all the goodness available with the Kinetic Kame release. By providing you with step-by-step examples including manipulator arms and flying robots, the authors introduce you to the new features. The book is intensely practical, with space given to theory only when absolutely necessary. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience on controlling robots with the best possible framework. Style and approach ROS Robotics By Example, Second Edition gives the robotics beginner as well as the ROS newbie an immensely practical introduction to robot building and robotics application coding. ROS translates as "robot operating system"; you will learn how to control a robot via devices and configuration files, but you will also learn how to write robot applications on the foundation of this operating system.

The magi, as you know, were wise men – wonderfully wise men – who brought gifts to the new-born King of the Jews in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house.

作为儒家“五经”之首、道家“三玄”之一的《易经》，自成书以来，注释解说者层出不穷，但想要学习《易经》的普通读者，却依然茫然不得头绪。针对这种情况，南怀瑾先生开讲《易经》。《易经杂说》《易经系传别讲》二书，既不把《易经》看作高深莫测、隐藏玄奥的天书，又否定了近代不少学者“迷信、混乱”的断语，不轻易引申，不牵强附会，以还原《易经》的本初意义为主旨，以树立端正的人生态度、传授博大的人生智慧为目的，非学究或术士者可拟。

《老子》《庄子》是道家学术思想的源头和代表作，二者对普通读者来说，也常有一种难以言说的神秘和难解之感。南怀瑾先生讲《老》《庄》，不斤斤于个别语译，游乎经史子集之中，不论出世入世，评比精义，更以禅宗的方式，随说随破，提示其出入禅道的旨意，可以说是与《老》《庄》气质接近的讲解。

《史记·列传》是帝王诸侯外其他各方面代表人物的生平事迹和少数民族的传记。七十多篇《列传》，其语言简洁凝练，逻辑性强，使历史人物有血有肉、栩栩如生，历史事件生动有趣、精彩纷呈。

《三十六计》或称三十六策，是指中国古代三十六个兵法策略，语源于南北朝，它是根据中国古代军事思想和丰富的斗争经验总结而成的兵书，是中华民族悠久非物质文化遗产之一。《三十六计》在众多的兵书中独树一帜、雄踞一流，它是中华民族智慧宝库中的经典，与《孙子兵法》一起，并称为世界军事史上的“双璧”。故古书中称：“用兵如孙子，策谋三十六。”

《墨子》为战国百家中墨家的经典。墨子提倡兼爱、非攻、尚贤、尚同、天志、明鬼、非命、非乐、节葬、节用，对哲学、逻辑学都有研究和贡献。此外，他在军事学、工程学、力 学、几何学、光学上都有相当的研究和贡献，先秦的科学技术成就大都依赖《墨子》以传。
