Abstract

If you want to get started with robotics, and you don't have C/C++ knowledge, Python can be a good starting language to get you the experience of building software for robots. The toolchain for ROS supports Python by default, giving you all of the features, making it really simple to get started with building your own robots! If you are looking for a reason to learn Python, and robotics is exciting for you, I am hoping that you can get the introduction from this talk. It is easier to follow if you have a basic understanding of the Python language syntax.
