Robotnik—professional service robotics applications with ROS (2)

Abstract

This chapter summarizes new experiences in using ROS in the deployment of Real-World professional service robotics applications. These include climbing mobile robot for windmill inspection, a mobile manipulator for general purpose applications, a mobile autonomous guided car and a robot for the detection/measurement of surface defects and cracks in tunnels. It focuses on the application development of the ROS modules, tools, components applied, and on the lessons learned in the development process.
