Getting started with ROS Toolbox and MATLAB

Beyond the standard functions provided by the default installation of MATLAB, several external toolboxes give you access to other utilities and libraries. To use ROS with MATLAB, you need to install ROS Toolbox (https://it.mathworks.com/products/ros.html). This toolbox implements an interface between MATLAB and ROS that enables developers to test and port their applications on real robots and robotic simulators. To implement robotic applications, it is also useful to install Robotics System Toolbox (https://it.mathworks.com/products/robotics.html) and Navigation Toolbox (https://it.mathworks.com/products/navigation.html), providing several algorithms that help us to develop autonomous robot applications, such as path planners, obstacle avoidance methods, state estimations, kinematics, and dynamics algorithms.

You can add ROS Toolbox, Robotics System Toolbox, and Navigation Toolbox from the package list during the MATLAB installation, or...
