Sphero MATLAB Interface

This interface enables MATLAB to connect and control the robot, Sphero through Bluetooth.

This simple interface offers basic control over Sphero. For more comprehensive features and control, please refer to Mark's interface:

This interface is made possible utilizing the Instrument Control Toolbox (R2011b or higher). This interface consists of 2 files. Sphero.m is the source code, and sphero_workfile.m provides working examples to the source code. This application also allows MATLAB to send commands and receive feedback (position and velocity) from Sphero.

Sphero API 1.50 is the API provided by Orbotix. It is also available at http://orbotixinc.github.io/Sphero-Docs/docs/sphero-api/packet-structures.html. This work was done as part of the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) project at the ARMLAB (Automation, Robotics and Mechatronics Lab) http://mechatronics.eng.buffalo.edu/ at University at Buffalo http://www.mae.buffalo.edu/.
