MATLAB Interface For Mobile Robots

The document discusses developing a MATLAB client interface to directly communicate with P3-DX mobile robots. The interface would utilize timers to transmit command packets and process received data packets. This would provide an easy-to-use programming environment for engineering students to build robot applications and conduct experiments, leveraging their MATLAB skills, while avoiding the complexity of ROS. The goal is to attract more students to robotics and provide an integrated MATLAB-based environment for robot control, data analysis, and lab reporting.

• Recognize that P3-DX mobile robots uses a well established client-server


communication architecture
• Develop a MATLAB client interface that directly communicates with
Advanced Robot Control and Operations Software (ARCOS) server running
on P3-DX mobile robots
• Utilize the timer object in MATLAB to create two essential timers—one to
transmit the Pulse command packet at a specified time interval, and another
to process the received Server Information Packets (SIP) data packets in a
timely manner
