Robotics Playground
An Introduction to Mobile Robotics with MATLAB and Simulink
By the Student Competition Team at MathWorks
Learn MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow for mobile robotics through a series of project-based exercises with virtual robots. The courseware contains step-by-step exercises for integrating common robot sensors and creating teleoperated and autonomous mobile robot algorithms.
Materials include a MATLAB and Simulink library of virtual environments designed to aid in the teaching of basic concepts in robotics, such as driver control, autonomy programming, obstacle avoidance, and object interactions.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn MATLAB programming using variables, scripts, and functions.
- Learn Simulink modeling for time-based simulations.
- Learn Stateflow for robot programming using flow charts.
- Learn how to program robot remote controls.
- Learn how to avoid obstacles and follow objects using distance sensors.
- Learn how to program a maze-solving robot (final project).
