Robotics Control Prototyping, Robotics Control Testing

Expedite innovation and testing of robotics applications, from perception to planning and control design.

Reach shorter development and testing cycles by applying real-time controls testing on powerful and flexible Speedgoat target machines. With this, robotics researchers and engineers can develop and test novel smart control systems more efficiently.

Robotics solutions are present in a wide range of applications such as:

Industrial cooperative robots
Autonomous mobile robots
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
Robotic prostheses and exoskeletons
Robotic surgery systems
Humanoids

MathWorks and Speedgoat enable you to innovate faster while verifying and validating continuously along the way. Employ a Model-Based Design workflow from concept to hardware verification using industry-standard tools like MATLAB^® & Simulink^®, Simulink^® Real-Time™, and related toolboxes such as Robotics System Toolbox™, Simscape™ Multibody™, UAV Toolbox, and Navigation Toolbox™. Connecting various analog I/O, digital I/O (like PWM and quadrature encoders), and using communication protocols like EtherCAT, TCP/IP, SPI, I2C, CAN, UDP, Modbus, among many others, allows for seamless integration into your ecosystem.

“For us, Speedgoat offers a perfect combination of performance, customizability, modularity, a reasonable price point. Integration with MATLAB^® & Simulink^® and support are excellent.”
