ROS Toolbox

Design, simulate, and deploy ROS-based applications

ROS Toolboxprovides an interface connecting MATLAB® and Simulink® with the Robot Operating System (ROS and ROS 2), enabling you to create a network of ROS nodes. The toolbox includes MATLAB functions and Simulink blocks to import, analyze, and play back ROS data recorded in rosbag files. You can also connect to a live ROS network to access ROS messages.

The toolbox lets you verify ROS nodes via desktop simulation and by connecting to external robot simulators such as Gazebo.ROS Toolboxsupports C++ code generation (withSimulink Coder™), enabling you to automatically generate ROS nodes from a Simulink model and deploy to simulated or physical hardware. Support for Simulink external mode lets you view messages and change parameters while your model is running on hardware.
