Simulink C MEX S-Functions Code Generator for VS2008

Giacomo — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 01:15:12 +0000

This executable (for Windows) generates a complete Visual Studio 2008 project for compiling and debugging a Simulnik C++ MEX S-Function. It creates the necessary code for implementing a block with your specified inputs, outputs and parameters. Of course, it is your responsibility to fill in the MDL procedures accordingly to your needs.

The interface is very straightforward and does not need any particular comment:

New IEEE RAS Technical Committee in Marine Robotics

Giacomo — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:51:29 +0000

The Robotics and Automation Society AdCom has approved a new RAS Technical Committee (TC) in Marine Robotics

Organizers of the Marine Robotics TC include Gianluca Antonelli, corresponding and membership chair, Andrew Bennett, Hayato Kondo, Giacomo Marani, Richard Rikoski, Dan Stilwell, and Junku Yuh.

The Marine Robotics TC covers several aspects of the corresponding area, both for the underwater and surface vehicles. The following, illustrative, list of topics should drive the research interests of the TC:

actuation and sensing systems
communication
manipulation
interaction
guidance, navigation and control
mission control systems
localization
fault detection/tolerance
multiple coordinated vehicles
networked vehicles
etc…

Further information can be found on the TC web page:

and on the RAS Technical Activities web page:

Members of the MRTC are organized in the google group:

Kalman Code Generator

Giacomo — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:27:15 +0000

The KCG is a subset of procedures, written in Maple, that allows to automate the process of writing the equations of an extended Kalman filter. Used in conjuntion with the C++ Extended Kalman Filter Library written by Vincent Zalzal, the KCG automates the translation in C++ code of huge multi-dimensional problems, operaztion sometime impossible by hand.

The package requires a good knowledge of control theory (state space systems) and Kalman filter. I wrote it in order to produce a massive 27 states Kalman Filter for identifying the dynamic parameters of the SAUVIM AUV.

The code is distributed AS IS and requres also a good knowledge of the Maple environment.

Robotics Developer Studio

Giacomo — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:26:19 +0000

Robotics Developer Studio (AKA ROBOSIM) is a support tool for generating mathematical models not only for robots, but in general for a wider class of mechanical systems.
