Abstract
This chapter summarizes our most relevant experiences in the use of ROS in the deployment of Real-World professional service robotics applications: a mobile robot for CBRN intervention missions, a tunnel inspection and surveillance robot, an upper body torso robot, an indoor healthcare logistic transport robot and a robot for precision viticulture. The chapter describes the mentioned projects and how ROS has been used in them. It focuses on the application development, on the ROS modules used and the ROS tools and components applied, and on the lessons learnt in the development process.
