Ground Robots

Design and deploy autonomous ground robot applications over ROS or ROS 2 network

ROS Toolbox enables you to test and deploy standalone applications for controlling simulated ground robots in ROS-enabled simulators on remote devices running a ROS or ROS 2 network.

You can create the ground robot control applications in MATLAB^® or Simulink^®, validate them, optimize them for C++ code generation, and then deploy them as ROS or ROS 2 nodes to a target ROS device. You can also analyze the data offline, or perform playback and visualize them from ROS and ROS 2 bag files.
