Loading a occupancy grid into a function block in simulink

Hi All,

I currently have a script which is able to find the locations in an occupancy grid (called map) which have either a 1 or a 0 to place a waypoint. I have run it on my map and it works perfectly. However when I move the script into a function block in simulink i get an error where it says it can't find the map even though its in my workspace. I have tried to load it in from the workspace but i get another saying the type of variable isn't accepted.

I'm at a loss and have searched the web to see if anyone else has had this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

What format is the map stored in? as a matrix or an occupancy map object?

Hi Githin,

Its stored in an occupancy map object. I'm just not sure the occupancy map object can be use in a MATLAB Function Block in Simulink or if its only able to be used in the robotic toolbox blocks.

Thanks

Hi,

You can refer to this documentation for implementation of Occupancy map in Simulink(check the planning block).

Here a binary Occupancy map is used inside a Matlab Function Block.

Hope this helps.
