Summary
This chapter was an introduction to Robot Operating System. The main goal of this chapter was to give you an overview of ROS, its features, how to install it, the basic concepts of ROS, and how to program it using Python. Along with this, we have looked at a robotics simulator called Gazebo, which can work with ROS. We have seen how to install and run Gazebo. In the next chapter, we will look at the basic concepts of differential drive robots.
