Low-cost hardware appeals to hobbyists and educators because it is an effective and fun way to tinker and learn engineering concepts related to control systems, robotics, signal processing, and more.

This webinar will show how you can easily and quickly program a LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robot using Simulink. We will start by showing how you can download and set-up the free Simulink Support Package for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Hardware. Then we will demonstrate how to use the new LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Simulink blocks to control a line following robot by running a model natively on the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3.
