A Brief History of ROS (Robot Operating System)

The following is a visual timeline of Robot Operating System (ROS)

ROS STATISTICS: ROS tutorials

Video tutorial learning is one of the ways to learn ROS effectively (more ROS learning methods). It provides an unique presentation which show how programs are created and ran, in a practical way. It allows you to learn how to carry a ROS project from the professional or instructor, which alleviate a beginner’s fear to start learning ROS to a certain degree.

You can find over one million tutorials on youtube when you search ros tutorials. Over 500,000 new ROS tutorials were uploaded last year alone.

We have compiled some of the best-ranked ROS tutorials for you:
