Is there anyway to comunicate Simulink and Ros/Gazebo? [closed]

Hello everybody:

I am using Ros Indigo, Gazebo2 and Linux 14.04. I have a block diagram in Simulink that I would like to have in ROS/Gazebo to do simulations in 3D with this package https://github.com/RafBerkvens/ua_ros... .

Is there anyway to do that? and if there is not how can I do block diagrams with ROS.

Thanks you so much.

If you are using Matlab 2015a, you should be able to use the Robot Operating System Support in the Robotics System Toolbox. From that page:

Create ROS nodes in MATLAB and Simulink, exchange messages with other nodes on the ROS network, import ROS log files into MATLAB, and generate C++ code for a standalone ROS node.

and

You can develop, test, and verify your robotics algorithms and applications on ROS-enabled robots and robot simulators such as Gazebo and V-REP.

So with Gazebo on one side, Matlab on the other and ROS in the middle, you should be able to do what you described.

For other (older) versions of Matlab this should also be possible, but is a bit more involved.

First of all, thanks for answering. I have been checked that page and it seems that I can do my propose. I think a must use "Embedded coder" to do that and Matlab 2015 as you said.

But i think it is more difficult than create a C++ code with embedded coder from simulink. Maybe I have to do another block diagram expecific for ROS.

Does anybody have the same task? (from simulink model to ROS/Gazebo)

Thanks again.
