“…Due to the growing importance of ROS in research and commercial robotics, engineering educators are introducing ROS into the engineering curriculum [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. As can be noted from the literature, ROS is powerful technology but has a steep learning curve, which makes the interface with MATLAB an attractive alternative for educators.…”

Development of a MATLAB Robotics Toolbox ROS interface and educational resources for a low-cost robot arm (Dobot Magician) in a senior-level robotics design course are described. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effectiveness of a MATLAB interface to ROS services to control an articulated robot manipulator and conveyor belt in a laboratory setting. Laboratory exercises are described that expose students to the MATLAB/ROS interface, the basics of robot manipulator programming and an introduction to computer vision. Student survey data shows a positive response to the MATLAB/ROS strategy with the robot. The significance of this study is that a low-cost robot arm with a professional-level ROS/MATLAB software interface can greatly improve student access to advanced, hands-on, project-based education in intelligent manufacturing and Industry 4.0.
