Recap

Congratulations!

You’ve now come the conclusion of the ROS Basics!

Armed with the basic understanding of ROS you’ve learned here you should now be prepared for the projects which follow!

Additional Resources

While we’ve done our best to give you a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of ROS, the lessons here are by no means comprehensive. Fortunately, there are a wealth of resources available online.

ROS Wiki

This is the official source of documentation for all ROS packages. Additionally, there are many helpful tutorials here. Aside from a simple search on google, this is probably the first place you should go if you are having a ROS-related problem.

ROS Answers

If the wiki does not provide the answers you are looking for, ROS Answers will be the next best bet. With over 33,000 questions asked on ROS answers, there’s a good chance that somebody has already addressed the problem that you are dealing with.

ROS Cheat Sheet

This is the official ROS cheat sheet. Even though the title indicates that it is for the indigo distribution, almost all of the commands still work in Kinetic, the distribution that we are using for this program.

A gentle Introduction to ROS

This is a great book, and is distributed not only in paperback form, but also for free as a PDF download.
