[ros-users] How to get started with a mobile platform?

[Björn Giesler]

Hi,

I'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 "how to use ROS on your robot"? I haven't found anything like this and find this all very confusing :-)

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Björn
