Robotics for Programmers teaches you the patterns of robotics software through hands-on examples and clear, jargon-free guidance. It relates new ideas about robotics to programming concepts you’re already familiar with, so you can easily make the jump from traditional software to robot development.

Unlike other books that feature toy projects and unrealistic examples, this practical book centers on the techniques you’ll use in real robotics applications. You’ll learn by simulating factory floor robots, survey drones, and even a multi-function mobile manipulator! The examples use the accessible ROS2 framework, and all core concepts and algorithms are taught in a way you can apply to the proprietary software you’ll encounter in robotics companies. By the time you’re finished, you’ll have the programming skills to start developing serious robots.
