2: ROS at a high level
## PRR Chapter 1 * These series of notes were written by me following the outline and content of "Programming Robots With ROS" by Quigley, Gerkey and Smart. * In my opinion it is one of the best ROS books for students. * It has a great sequence on the concepts and then gradually more challenging projects. * It uses Python which is ideal for students. * The only problem is that it is a little old and so some of the instructions do not work anymore. * I highly recommend this book.
### Introduction * Not really an operating system! * Runs on top of the OS, i.e. Linux * A highly sophisticated concurrent distributed process management and communication framework (my own definition)
### Installation * No need to install anything! * You will be provided a Cloud Desktop on our server * Here are instructions for using [Cloud Desktop](https://campus-rover.gitbook.io/lab-notebook/infrastructure/cloud-desktop)
