Automated ROS and ROS 2 Node Generation from Prototyping to Production

Overview

MATLAB and Simulink support a live connection with ROS network for your ROS based desktop simulation. In addition, you can generate stand-alone C++ nodes from MATLAB and Simulink through automated code generation. Starting with R2021b, it also supports embedding a deep learning network into ROS nodes using GPU coder (e.g., generate CUDA code of object detection algorithm from MATLAB Script using GPU Coder). 

This webinar discusses automated C++ ROS / ROS2 node generation from MATLAB scripts and Simulink models.  We will also highlight ROS Toolbox feature updates and propose the workflow that successful users have adopted.

Highlights

Through several examples, webinar covers the following topics:

• ROS and ROS 2 node generation and deployment from MATLAB scripts
• ROS and ROS 2 node generation and deployment from Simulink models
• ROS-compatible CUDA node generation from Simulink using GPU coder
• Working with generated ROS nodes
