- It is the process for finding proper robot hardware components for the robot that is meeting the robot desired specification. It also involves circuit designing and computing the current flow of each components in order to ensure the stability of the robot components.
- It’s a switching circuit to control the direction and speed of an electric motor.
- The main components are wheel encoder to compute wheel velocity and laser range finder or depth sensor to detect the obstacle around the robot.
- We need to check whether it meets the specification of the robot.
- Mapping, obstacle detection, object detection, and tracking.

Overview of this book
Robot Operating System (ROS) is one of the most popular robotics software frameworks in research and industry. It has various features for implementing different capabilities in a robot without implementing them from scratch.
This book starts by showing you the fundamentals of ROS so you understand the basics of differential robots. Then, you'll learn about robot modeling and how to design and simulate it using ROS. Moving on, we'll design robot hardware and interfacing actuators. Then, you'll learn to configure and program depth sensors and LIDARs using ROS. Finally, you'll create a GUI for your robot using the Qt framework.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a clear idea of how to integrate and assemble everything into a robot and how to bundle the software package.
