Mobile Robotics Simulation Toolbox
This toolbox provides utilities for robot simulation and algorithm development. This includes:
- 2D kinematic models for robot geometries such as differential drive, three, and four-wheeled vehicles, including forward and inverse kinematics
- Configurable lidar, object, and robot detector simulators
- Visualization of robotic vehicles and sensors in occupancy maps
- MATLAB and Simulink examples and documentation
