Programming BeagleBone Blue with Simulink

Kurt Talke, University of California, San Diego

Sebastian Castro is joined by Kurt Talke from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), to discuss how BeagleBone^®Blue hardware can be programmed using Simulink^®.

BeagleBone Blue is a small-sized computer designed specifically for the development of robotic systems. It was developed as a collaboration between BeagleBoard.org and the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab, of which Kurt is currently a member.

Sebastian and Kurt will first introduce the capabilities of the BeagleBone Blue hardware and show how it can be programmed using Simulink. Then they will present an example of a control system developed in Simulink to balance an eduMIP self-balancing robot kit based on BeagleBone Blue. This kit was also developed at UCSD and is a commercially available educational robotics platform.
