Hi,
I am working on a simulink model with a number of other people. I am interested in color coding changes done by each person. So that if a parameter of a block was changed, or if a block was added etc. i would like those blocks to have their background color changed automatically according to the color assigned to that person.
Is there any way to do this?

@Villy,

Simulink 3D Animation includes a block to process input from a joystick device:

Aerospace Blockset also provides a similar block:

Hi!

I am currently working on a robotic simulation using matlab-simulink, Solidworks and possibly Simulink VR tool.
I do like the idea of controlling it with several external joysticks. How can I “connect” the joysticks to the model?

What is the free website that I can refer to if I want to use Matlab to impelent my PSO application? Thank you.

To be a little more detailed, are there then any matlab/simulink stateflow diagrams or programs used for recognizing and simulating happy,sad,joy,nervousness,disgust etc…. I now there are emotion and face recognition programs in matlab. However, I have not seen any stateflows diagrams that would represent such a simulation. Are there any?

@Simone Leon - while I have talked to people about modeling financial systems and biological systems, I have not seen any "emotional models." I suggest you reach out to a larger community (like comp.soft-sys.matlab) to find an answer. If you have a clear idea of what states your are modeling, and the conditions that lead to transitions between those states, it will be easily expressed in a Stateflow chart.

I am an Mphil Student at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad & Tobago – Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. Presently my studies are in emotional recognition in artificial systems using Matlab Simulink as a simulation tool and PSO Models and how it can be applied to Emotion-Oriented eCommerce Systems.

I have been researching extensively on existing Simulink Control models which are able to simulate the emotions of a user. Such a Model should possess a stated emotional model. However, at this juncture my research is proving futile.

I would like to know if there are actually any Simulink Control Models created in Matlab that can simulate the emotion of a customer or user and how can they be accessed. I do not want to reinvent the wheel if such a project has already been done. The aim is to use an existing simulation to support my findings. This system will be well referenced in the final production of my thesis.

Do you therfore have an emotional model simulated in Simulink and PSO? If this is available for review, can you make the Model available for further analysis?

Your help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
