In the following sections, In the following sections, the system object will be used in the MATLAB script to communicate with the robot. Using system object allows you to utilize the same architecture for the Simulink implementation.

You can utilize the MEX Wrapper provided by Kinova robotics or use the system object to control the robot. For more details, see Download MATLAB MEX APIs for Kinova Gen 3. For Kinova Gen3 robot arm, Kinova provides a C++ API that uses the Ethernet port or WiFi to communicate with the robot. Also, keep the E-STOP button close to you to stop any unnecessary movement of the robot.ĭepending on the communication interface provided by the robot manufacturer, the robot can be connected to the MATLAB using different methods. Note: Execute the script section by section as mentioned in this example.

This also helps you to get feedback from the robot and to send control commands. This example demonstrates how to connect the Kinova® Gen3 7-DoF Ultralightweight Robot arm to MATLAB and Simulink.
