ROS Application Examples

Simulate ROS and Gazebo applications, connect to TurtleBot^® hardware

These examples show how to build specific applications for ROS, real robots, and simulators. Use them to learn the requirements for physical hardware and software simulation systems. For robot setup information, see Get Started with Gazebo and a Simulated TurtleBot and Get Started with a Real TurtleBot.
