C++ for Robotics - Build Real‑Time Robot Systems with C++, C#, and ROS 2

C++ for Robotics is your hands-on guide to programming autonomous systems. Learn C++, robotics programming, and autonomous systems step by step. Master motion control, sensor fusion, and real-time loops that drive real robots. Esther Underwood delivers a practical, project-driven approach from beginner to pro. This book covers everything from basic C++ syntax for microcontrollers to advanced algorithms for sensor integration and control systems. You'll build a complete autonomous robot with code that runs on popular hardware like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. What you'll learn: Real-time programming with C++ for robotics Sensor fusion using Kalman filters and particle filters Motion control with PID and model predictive control ROS (Robot Operating System) integration Debugging and optimizing real-time loops Unlike Mark J. Price and [placeholder], this book focuses exclusively on robotics with C++ and avoids generic .NET topics. Perfect for engineers, hobbyists, and students who want to build real robots. This hands-on C/C++/C#/.NET guide is written to be used at the keyboard: every concept is paired with something you can run, adapt, and keep. You move from first principles to real, working results, with the common errors and fixes called out along the way so you are never stuck for long.
