Robotics system Toolbox error

Hello

I am running code of Carlos video Developing robotics applications with matlab, Simulink and robotics system Toolbox.

However, when running command

Simu = RobotSimulator

which is from Robotics system Toolbox I get an error message

"Unrecognized function or variable 'RobotSimulator'."

Looking for your reply

best

Hi Cristina,

There is no RobotSimulator function in Robotics System Toolbox. In Carlos's webinar, he had built a custom function for a demo. Please see this MATLAB Answers post for reference:

Robotsimulator is undefined function - MATLAB Answers - MATLAB Central (mathworks.com)

This webinar is a few years old, from when the toolbox was first introduced, and we have added significant functionality since then. I'd encourage you to explore the documentation for the Robotics System Toolbox and ROS Toolbox for the functionality you're seeking:

Robotics System Toolbox Documentation (mathworks.com)

ROS Toolbox Documentation (mathworks.com)

Dear Hannes

thank you. I feel a bit difficult to learn these functionalities. You do not plan to add new webinars?

Which tools you suggest to learn these functionalities other than documentation? For instance, even for simscape it is difficult to understand where to start from. May be documentation could provide a tutorial that guides you in increasing complexity?

Dear Hannes

I tried another feature OpenManipulatorWaypointTracking.slx and my Matlab gets really slow and after gives errors and is not able to run this. The code is also provided in Matlab. Can you help me out? I have to prepare my classes and I was considering to use this code, instead of having to do everyhting from scratch... I have been trying to learn. How can I udpdate this code?
