Overview
Robot Operating System (ROS) has become increasingly popular in industry, especially in the development of robotics. ROS, however, is a large robot programming framework, encompassing robot development tools, ecosystem, and distributed computing systems. It requires a steep learning curve, and it is hard to integrate into an existing non-ROS based stack. Handwriting code for ROS requires using ROS’s package build system and compiling against its dependencies.
This webinar discusses ROS and ROS 2 support from MATLAB and benefits of using MATLAB in programming robot applications.
Highlights
Through several examples, we will cover:
- MATLAB and Simulink ROS and ROS 2 network interface
- How to leverage built-in functionality in MATLAB toolboxes related to robot programming
- Automated C++ node generation from MATLAB and Simulink
- CUDA-compatible ROS node generation with embedded deep learning inference targeted for NVIDIA hardware
- Recording, importing, and visualizing ROS data (rosbag files) to analyze and debug ROS-based applications
