"Programming Robots with ROS sample code"

This repository contains all the examples from the book "Programming Robots with ROS", by Morgan Quigley, Brian Gerkey and William D. Smart (O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2015).

The code is originally written and copyright by Morgan Quigley, Brian Gerkey and William D. Smart.

The examples have had bug fixes applied, where those bugs have been found.

The code is organised by chapters, with one package per chapter. For most chapters, the examples give file names. The code in this repository uses these file names to make the examples easy to relate to the book and easy to use from each other (e.g. when launching nodes from launch files). For examples where file names are not provided (primarily the examples in chapters 16, 17 and 18, where a single file is gradually built up throughout the chapter), the files in this repository are instead named after the example numbers.

The examples have been tested on Indigo. All examples except for chapters 11 and 14 (due to lack of required support packages) have also been tested on Kinetic; chapter 12 currently is buggy in Kinetic - the line does not show up in Gazebo.
