Best practices, conventions, and tricks for ROS. Do you want to become a robotics master? Then consider graduating or working at the Robotics Systems Lab at ETH in Zürich!

ROS Best Practices, Conventions and Tricks

Best practices for ROS2 in the making. See the Foxy branch in the meanwhile.

This is a loose collection of best practices, conventions, and tricks for using the Robot Operating System (ROS). It builds up on the official ROS documentation and other resources and is meant as summary and overview.

  • 📚 Read: Head over to the Wiki to get started!
  • 🐛 Report: Share issues you encounter by submitting them.
  • 🔧 Improve: Make these practices even better. Submit a PR to improve a specific topic.
