1 Product Overview
Robotics System Toolbox provides tools and algorithms for designing, simulating, and testing
manipulators, mobile robots, and humanoid robots. For manipulators and humanoid robots, the
toolbox includes algorithms for collision checking, trajectory generation, forward and inverse
kinematics, and dynamics using a rigid body tree representation. For mobile robots, it includes
algorithms for mapping, localization, path planning, path following, and motion control. The toolbox
provides reference examples of common industrial robot applications. It also includes a library of
commercially available industrial robot models that you can import, visualize, and simulate.
You can develop a functional robot prototype by combining the kinematic and dynamic models
provided. The toolbox lets you co-simulate your robot applications by connecting directly to the
Gazebo robotics simulator. To verify your design on hardware, you can connect to robotics platforms
and generate and deploy code (with MATLAB® Coder™ or Simulink® Coder).
