Mathworks Talk at UNR

8/24/2016

0 Comments

 
Seminar Title: Developing Advanced Robotics Applications with MATLAB and Simulink
When: September 20 2016, 3.30pm-6.30pm
Where: HREL110, UNR Campus

Join us in this presentation in order to learn how to introduce yourself to robotics and quickly develop relevant algorithms using MATLAB and Simulink. The talk will address recent tools released from Mathworks such as the Robotics Systems Toolbox, and how they can be utilized to develop high-level or embedded code for critical robotic challenges such as those of control, path planning and computer vision. This talk is organized in collaboration with Mathworks and official MATLAB experts and application engineers will present their most recent advancements.

In collaboration with Sudeep Chandra, limnologist of UNR and NAASIC we have started working on an autonomous boat project. The aim is to enable real-time 3D reconstruction of the Lake Tahoe shore, underwater monitoring and biological data collection to enable consistent monitoring of the water quality.
