Crash Course on Robot Manipulators
Let’s start with a quick comparison of kinematics and dynamics.

Kinematics is the analysis of motion without considering forces…. read more >>

Today, I am happy to introduce Andrea Casadio, he is a junior mechanical engineer and first-time guest in this blog. Andrea is going to describe his thesis work at Politecnico di Torino in which he developed Simscape™ libraries for vehicle modeling.
Thank you Andrea for providing the community with your work on… read more >>

Introduction
This blog post intends to provide best practices for choosing solvers in Simulink and Simscape. Gratitude goes to Tom Egel and Erin McGarrity whose materials are the foundation for anything written below.  This article is certainly not aiming to replace the rock-solid documentation about solver choice, it is complementary and… read more >>

Sebastian Castro is back to talk about the basics of connecting MATLAB and Simulink with the Robot Operating System (ROS).
Overview
Robot Operating System (or ROS) is a commonly used framework for designing complex robotic systems. It is popular for building distributed robot software systems, as well as for its integration with packages… read more >>

Today, my robotics colleague Sebastian Castro is back for another guest blog.
Before handing it over to Sebastian allow me a short note. My colleague Steve Eddins recently started a second blog on MATLAB Central, this one about Deep Learning. If you are interested in learning more about Deep Learning please visit his Deep… read more >>

“Effectively comparing vehicle concepts is crucial to design winning racecars. For that, we* have set-up a lap time simulation based on tire test data and a two track model in Simulink. This allows us […] to model different vehicle concepts on various tracks and evaluate the performance.”
I probably can’t say… read more >>
