Requirements¶
Before setting up the Webots-Simulink Bridge, ensure that your system meets the following requirements.
Software Requirements¶
- MATLAB & Simulink (Recommended: R2024a or later)
- Webots (Recommended: Latest stable version)
- C Compiler compatible with MATLAB (e.g., MinGW, MSVC)
MATLAB Toolboxes¶
Ensure that the following MATLAB toolboxes are installed: - MATLAB Coder (for interfacing with external libraries) - Simulink (for model-based design and simulation) - Embedded Coder (optional, for advanced code generation)
System Requirements¶
- Operating System: Windows 10/11, Ubuntu 20.04+ (Recommended)
- RAM: At least 8GB (16GB recommended for large simulations)
- Processor: Multi-core processor (Intel i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen recommended)
- GPU: Dedicated GPU recommended for better rendering in Webots
Dependencies¶
The following dependencies should be installed and configured properly:
- Webots API (Ensure Webots' shared libraries are accessible by MATLAB)
- MATLAB External Library Support (Proper setup of calllib
for Webots' functions)
Once these requirements are met, proceed to the Setup Guide to configure the bridge.
