figure;
first_button = uicontrol('style', 'pushbutton');
set(first_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.2,0.7, 0.2, 0.2])
set(first_button, 'string', 'turn left')
set(first_button, 'callback', @turnLeft)
second_button = uicontrol('style', 'pushbutton');
set(second_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.4, 0.7, 0.2, 0.2])
set(second_button, 'string', 'step')
set(second_button, 'callback', @step)
third_button = uicontrol('style', 'pushbutton');
set(third_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.6, 0.7, 0.2, 0.2])
set(third_button, 'string', 'turn right')
set(third_button, 'callback', @turnRight)
fourth_button = uicontrol('style', 'pushbutton');
set(fourth_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.2, 0.5, 0.2, 0.2])
set(fourth_button, 'string', 'left')
set(fourth_button, 'callback', @stepLeft)
fifth_button = uicontrol('style', 'pushbutton');
set(fifth_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.4, 0.5, 0.2, 0.2])
set(fifth_button, 'string', 'back')
set(fifth_button, 'callback', @stepBack)
sixth_button = uicontrol('style', 'pushbutton');
set(sixth_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.6, 0.5, 0.2, 0.2])
set(sixth_button, 'string', 'right')
set(sixth_button, 'callback',@stepRight)
seventh_button = uicontrol ('style','checkbox');
set(seventh_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.2, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2])
set(seventh_button, 'string', 'History')
set(seventh_button, 'callback', @toggleHistory)
eighth_button = uicontrol ('style', 'edit');
set(eighth_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.4, 0.37, 0.2, 0.05])
set(eighth_button, 'string', '2')
ninth_button = uicontrol('style','pushbutton');
set(ninth_button, 'units', 'normalized', 'position', [0.6, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2])
set(ninth_button, 'string', 'Run!')
set(ninth_button, 'callback', @Run)
ninth_button.Callback = 'number_of_steps = str2num(eighth_button.String); walk(number_of_steps)';
function toggleHistory(sender, eventdata)
History = (['seventh_button', 'value']);
if History
showhistory
else ~History
hidehistory
end
end
function Run(sender, eventdata)
step_input = (['eighth_button', 'string']);
if ~strcmp(step_input, ' ');
number_of_steps = str2num(step_input);
walk(number_of_steps);
end
end

You probably intend to extract the value property, but that requires this:
History = sender.Value;
You also don't need to invert a statement for an else, only for an elseif.
If you want access to the variables you set up, you will have to use guidata, or use nested functions.

This should not be hard to find. Where have you tried to find the answer yourself?
Did you follow a basic Matlab tutorial? Did you Google this?
Also, why didn't you ask a follow up question in the previous thread about this? You should either mark an answer as accepted, or ask a follow up question until the issue is resolved. This duplication of questions is a waste of a very finite resource. There are not many people who are willing to spend a lot of time helping people on this forum.
