Video and Webinar Series

Student Competition: Mobile Robotics Training

The training materials in this video series will enable your team to get started with designing and simulating common mobile robotics algorithms in MATLAB and Simulink. You will learn how to design open and closed loop feedback control systems for your robot to perform tasks like dead reckoning, line following and obstacle detection. You will also understand how to use the custom simulation tools to test your algorithms within Simulink before deploying them to an actual robot.

Overview These training materials will help your team get started with designing and simulating mobile robotics algorithms using MATLAB and Simulink.

Controlling Robot Motion Learn how to control a robot to move on its wheels autonomously using dead reckoning.
