Alright, so it's your first time with the Turtlebot. Where to begin? The online [[http://http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutorials| Turtlebot ROS wiki]] has some tutorials/tips on how to start. Now, the Turtlebot and Workstations have been configured, so that's no big deal. You are ready to "Get Started." | Alright, so it's your first time with the Turtlebot. Where to begin?

Most likely, if you are new to the Turtlebot, then you are new to ROS (Robot Operating System). ROS is a bunch of written code that runs on top of the standard operating system with lots of functionalities and operations like those of an operating system but tailored to Robotics. A colleague at University of South Carolina has written a book if you would like a primer on ROS (Jason O'Kane, [[ http://www.cse.sc.edu/~jokane/agitr/ | A Gentle Introduction to ROS]]). Most of the time, you will have to run the robot's "operating system" in order to interact with and control the robot. This is described in the "Bringup" set of [[http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot_bringup/Tutorials/indigo/TurtleBot%20Bringup | tutorials]]. They have some instructions, that you should read and roughly understand, but the ones below are what I recommend. | Most likely, if you are new to the Turtlebot, then you are new to ROS (Robot Operating System).
