<br>
I&#39;m a total ROS newbie but have been reading the ROS wiki for hours now. I have a mobile platform with differential drive, odometry and sonars and would like to use ROS to make it autonomous (i.e. build a grid map using the sonars and odometry and maybe a simple exploration strategy, then navigate on that map). Is there a simple tutorial like &quot;how to use ROS on your robot&quot;? I haven&#39;t found anything like this and find this all very confusing :-)<br>

<br>
Any help is much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Björn<br>
