Featured Examples
Get Started with Motor Drives for Robotics Applications Using Arduino Hardware and Simulink
Use Simulink® Support Package for Arduino® Hardware and an Arduino hardware board to get started with interfacing the motor drives for robotics applications.
Control Standard Servo Motor Using Arduino Hardware
Use Simulink® Support Package for Arduino® Hardware to control a standard servo motor.
Self-Balancing Motor Cycle Using Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2
Use Arduino® Engineering Kit Rev 2 to build and program a motorcycle bot that self-balances and maneuvers by itself using a flywheel. The project models the motorcycle with the help of inverted pendulum dynamics and performs inertial sensing to balance the motorcycle by controlling the flywheel, located at the center of the motorcycle.
Webcam Controlled Rover Using Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2
Use Arduino® Engineering Kit Rev 2 to program a differential drive robot that can be remotely controlled by MATLAB® over Wi-Fi® to perform operations such as path following and moving objects with a forklift along with obstacle avoidance.
Drawing Robot Using Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2
Use Arduino® Engineering Kit Rev 2 to build and program a robot that extracts line traces from an image and reproduces it as a drawing on a whiteboard. The project uses MATLAB® code to capture an image using a webcam, and then convert it into a set of motor commands using image processing techniques, which drive the robot across a whiteboard and reproduce the captured image as a drawing.
