Message De-Serializer for ROS

This project relies on ROS Toolbox functionality to provide basic integration of Simulink® targets, with focus on Simulink Real-Time™ and Speedgoat®, into ROS/ROS2 networks via message serialization. The project leverages existing API from the ROS Toolbox in some MATLAB® System blocks to process ROS/ROS2 messages over UDP or Serial communication.

The project contains a small set of Serialize and De-Serialize blocks in a library together with some simple model examples.

Setup

MathWorks products

Requires MATLAB release R2020b or newer.

• MATLAB
• Simulink
• ROS Toolbox
• Instrument Control Toolbox™ (optional)
• Simulink Real-Time (optional)

Getting Started

1. Start the Simulink project ROSMessageSerializer.prj.
2. ROS/ROS2 (De-)Serializer blocks will be added to the Simulink library, available via the library browser or the Simulink block search.
3. Open any Simulink model example located in the examples folder and get familiar with different set-ups.
