Robotics System Toolbox Support for Universal Robots UR Series Manipulators
Connect and control Universal Robots UR Series manipulators using MATLAB and Simulink
Capabilities and Features
Robotics System Toolbox Support Package for Universal Robots UR Series Manipulators enables you to connect and control manipulators using MATLAB and Simulink.
The hardware support package lets you perform the following tasks:
- Control Universal Robots cobots using MATLAB through the ROS, ROS 2, or RTDE interface
- Prototype UR cobot applications using prebuilt algorithms in Robotics System Toolbox with URSim, Gazebo, or Unreal Engine®, and verify them on hardware using connected I/O
- Design real-world robotics applications with vision processing and deep learning in MATLAB, and deploy them on Universal Robots cobots
