Awesome Robotics!

Building your own robot just got a lot easier.

MathWorks have released an open-source GitHub repository packed with robotics resources for anyone interested in getting hands-on.

The repo includes examples for robot arms, ground vehicles, and drones, with projects that show how to connect with ROS and ROS2 or even deploy Simulink models directly as ROS nodes.

There are also more advanced demos, like modeling off-road environments and testing navigation algorithms in photorealistic simulations.

Everything is well-documented, with tutorials and links that make it easy to go from concept to prototype.

Whether you’re a student, researcher, or just curious, there’s material here for every level. And since it’s an open community project, you can not only explore but also share your own contributions.

For anyone looking to learn robotics by doing, this is a solid place to start!
