Hi there, is there a way to download ROS indigo on a windows 11 system as they are no longer released along with ubuntu 14.04 this is because I need to control an AR10 robotic hand

Normally I don't write comments but this video was too good to leave it without one

[@dmitrym3757]

Thanks a lot. Such garganguan things are often difficult to conteptualise until you see them in action, so I was struggling to undestand what ROS really was. Thank you so much, things are way more clearer now!

[@MrRijoAlex]

Honestly this is the best video out there for ROS beginners like me!! :D Great job and thank you.. really looking forward to more tutorial videos from you!! Cheers :)

[@kartikpujar4527]

This is the best Ros tutorial in youtube.... Please continue the tutorials

Great start. I am starting a new project using ROS for the first time so it's great to see a video series using the current version. Hope to see more, so pleas keep it up! Subscribed.

Hi peeps, for those having this error when running turtlebot "" Invalid tag: environment variable 'TURTLEBOT_GAZEBO_WORLD_FILE' is not set. Arg xml is The traceback for the exception was written to the log file"" Just go ahead and source your rosfile : $ source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash

[@BlackOldDragon]

Amine Harkane Thank you! That completely solved my problem

[@daesoolee1083]

Now I understand what the ROS is about. It's literally about functionality abstraction as mentioned in wiki so that common functionalities can be reused for other robots. Good!

[@RobertLBarnard]

Thank you, Justin. I appreciate your taking the time to put these videos together.

[@eventhatsme]

Thank you for making this tutorial series! It seems to be covering ROS programming in a much better way than most videos I have found so far. The turtlebot+indigo install was difficult to set up and I reverted to installing kinetic and the turtlebot packages by replacing all packages containing "indigo" with "kinetic". The two "rocon" packages are missing though, and I hope I can follow along the tutorials without these.

[@dhanushg5878]

I'm having trouble with roslaunch. Tab completion doesn't show the turtlebot_gazebo package even though I have all the dependencies installed. Typing out the whole command will run gazebo briefly before crashing. The terminal shows a libGL error: pci id for fd 4: 80ee:beef, driver (null). I am running a virtual machine of Ubuntu 14.04.4 on a MacBook Air 2015 10.11.4 .

If your roslaunch can't find turtlebot_gazebo, then you need to run: source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash This lets the shell know that you want to use ros specific files.
