Programming Robot Swarms

Sebastian Castro introduces a general workflow for designing robot swarm behavior using MATLAB^® and Simulink^®. This includes prototyping the robot behavior, testing it with a simple simulation, and then using automatic code generation to target external software and hardware.

The first software example demonstrates textual programming with MATLAB and generation of standalone code with MATLAB Coder™. The second example shows graphical programming with Simulink and Stateflow^®, and deployment to an external simulator with Embedded Coder^®.
