My experience and tips in learning ROS

If I have to give only one advice, It would be “learn the basics first”. Do not jump to implementation quickly, I saw many students do so and they eventually stuck.

ROS is built on multidisciplinary fields and you have to conquer these fields first to save your time and energy and overcome the overwhelming later.

• Programming using CPP “must” and python “optional”: The compilation process- XML scripts-header files -binary file generation,CMake and Make files, etc.

• Robotics and mechantronics: rigid body mechanics- sensors - using arduino and raspberry pi will boost your performance-robotic arms-mobile robots, etc.

• Getting familiar with basic Linux environment and commands

Save your time, save your efforts, invest in yourself
