Hi Mohammad,
Looks like you have already done some good groundwork. Any of those
systems will be a valuage learning tool.
I'd suggest you start with the book "Mobile Robots" by Jones and Flynn.
Here's a link to the latest version:
<http://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Robots-Implementation-Joseph-Jones/dp/1568810970>
Although if you can get one of the original versions (the "blue" one) that is
a better book.
best regards,
