ROS & Python for Robotics, Build Smarter Robots from Scratch: A practical guide to programming intelligent robots with ROS 2 and Python

By Isandro Myles and Corwin Halesworth

Bring Robots to Life-Master ROS 2 and Python to Build Intelligent, Autonomous Machines from the Ground Up

Robotics is no longer limited to research labs-it's transforming industries, homes, and daily life. If you want to design and program intelligent robots, "ROS & Python for Robotics: Build Smarter Robots from Scratch" is your hands-on guide to turning ideas into action using the power of Robot Operating System (ROS 2) and Python.

Perfect for beginners, students, engineers, and hobbyists, this book walks you through everything you need to know to start building, programming, and controlling smart robots with real-world capabilities.

In this step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to:

Set up ROS 2 and your development environment with Python

Understand robotic fundamentals: sensors, actuators, kinematics, and control

Build and simulate robots using Gazebo, RViz, and ROS tools

Program robot perception, navigation, and decision-making with AI and machine learning

Create autonomous behaviors for mobile robots, robotic arms, and drones

Integrate computer vision using OpenCV and deep learning frameworks

Apply robotics to real-world applications in logistics, healthcare, agriculture, and more

Filled with practical projects, coding exercises, and expert insights, this guide gives you the skills to build robots that sense, think, and act.

The future is robotic-start building it today with ROS 2 and Python.
