ROS 2 from Scratch - Get started with ROS 2 and create robotics applications with Python and C++

Edouard Renard

Sinopse

ROS 2 from Scratch, written by the cofounder of a robotics company with years of experience in teaching and engineering, will equip you with the skills necessary to develop cutting-edge robotic systems efficiently.This book will help you understand why you should use Robot Operating System (ROS), clarifying what ROS is and isn’t. It focuses on applied learning—no unnecessary filler, no abstract theory, and no abrupt leaps into complex topics. You’ll discover how to install ROS 2, set up your environment, and explore concepts through hands-on experiments, as well as create a ROS 2 application for a custom robot. The chapters expand upon core concepts such as nodes, communication via topics, client-server interactions with services, complex behaviors using actions, runtime configurations with parameters, and seamless node orchestration via launch files. Each concept is clearly explained with the help of real-life analogies and practical examples, using Python and C++. The book will also guide you through creating a real-world project that incorporates TFs, URDF, RViz, and Gazebo.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create new software for any robot in no time and easily join existing projects for new job roles, research endeavors, and beyond.

The Hidden Systems That Quietly...

Owen Blackwood

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Expose the invisible structures, algorithms, and institutional mechanisms that shape your choices, opportunities, and life trajectory without your awareness or consent. This revealing audiobook examines how credit scores, recommendation algorithms, insurance calculations, and bureaucratic classifications determine more about your life than personal decisions ever could. Learn how systems designed for efficiency create outcomes no one intended while remaining invisible to those affected by their judgments. The narrator reveals the inner workings of systems that decide what information you see, what opportunities you receive, what prices you pay, and how institutions treat you based on data you never knew was collected. Discover how systemic biases embedded in algorithmic decision-making perpetuate discrimination while appearing objective and neutral. Understand why individual effort cannot overcome systemic obstacles that most people do not even recognize as structural rather than personal failures. This audiobook draws from technology researchers, sociologists, and investigative journalists exposing how systems consolidate power while preventing accountability. Learn to identify systemic influences on your life and develop strategies for navigating systems designed without your interests in mind. Essential listening for anyone wanting to understand why life outcomes often seem disconnected from effort and merit, and what forces actually determine success in modern society.

Managing AI Risk - A practical...

Andrew Pattison

Organisations must deal with AI implementation in a practical and sensible way. They need to understand the risks and opportunities AI presents, and manage these in a way that ensures the organisation delivers on its objectives while embracing the change to its best advantage.
The aim of this guide: to give order to the chaos of AI that is being unleashed on the world.
The book discusses: 

- How to build a risk-aware AI strategy;
- Relevant standards and guidance such as ISO 42001, ISO 27001 and NIST;
- The importance of an artificial intelligence management system (AIMS); and
- The future of AI and risk management
 
As AI systems increasingly influence decision-making across industries, new risks such as algorithmic bias, loss of privacy, lack of transparency and unintended consequences become significant.
This guide will help you to understand how to mitigate AI risk and embrace the opportunities that AI brings to an organisation by implementing an AIMS.

The Coming Healthcare Revolution...

Paul Kusserow, David W. Johnson

The Coming Healthcare Revolution identifies and describes five top-down macro forces and five bottom-up market forces that have sufficient strength to transform the US healthcare industry from the outside-in. The powerful macro forces are demographic determinants, funding fatigue, chronic pandemics, technological imperatives, and pro-consumer/market reforms. The equally powerful market forces are whole health, care redesign, care migration, aggregators' advantage, and empowered caregivers. Written by David Johnson and Paul Kusserow, professional healthcare advisors operating at the intersection of healthcare economics, policy, strategy, and capital formation, this book provides expert insight on how the US healthcare system is becoming cheaper, better, more balanced between prevention and treatment, easier to access, and more empowering for both frontline caregivers and consumers. 
 
 
 
In this book, listeners will learn about factors leading to rising healthcare costs; US healthcare in comparison to other high-income countries; similarities between the US automobile industry crisis in the 1980s and today's adapt-or-die situation for healthcare providers and suppliers; and how the healthcare industry is reorganizing to decentralize delivery of whole-person health in ways that will improve health outcomes and overall societal health.
