Software for robotics, vision and other things. This includes the robotics and
machine vision toolboxes for MATLAB®.

These become a book, then two MOOCs, and then
the Robot Academy.

Everything is freeware so enjoy!


ROBOT ACADEMY



The QUT Robot Academy provides free-to-use undergraduate-level learning
resources for robotics and robotic vision. The content was developed for two
6-week MOOCs that ran in 2015 and 2016, which in turn was based on courses
taught at QUT. The MOOC content is now available as individual lessons (over 200
videos, each less than 10 minutes long) or a masterclass (a collection of
videos, around 1 hour in duration, previously a MOOC lecture). Unlike a MOOC,
all lessons are available all the time. Although targeted at undergraduate-level
around 20% of the lessons require no more than general knowledge, and the
required knowledge (on a 5-point scale) is indicated for each lesson.

ROBOTICS TOOLBOX



This, the tenth release of the Toolbox, represents over twenty years of
development and a substantial level of maturity. This version captures a large
number of changes and extensions to support the second edition of my book
“Robotics, Vision & Control”.

The Toolbox has always provided many functions that are useful for the study and
simulation of classical arm-type robotics, for example such things as
kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory generation.

The toolbox contains functions and classes to represent orientation and pose in
2D and 3D (SO(2), SE(2), SO(3), SE(3)) as matrices, quaternions, twists, triple
angles, and matrix exponentials. The Toolbox also provides functions for
manipulating and converting between datatypes such as vectors, homogeneous
transformations and unit-quaternions which are necessary to represent
3-dimensional position and orientation.

MACHINE VISION TOOLBOX



This, the fourth release of the Toolbox, represents over two decades of
development. This version captures a large number of changes and extensions to
support the second edition of my book “Robotics, Vision & Control”.

The Machine Vision Toolbox (MVTB) provides many functions that are useful in
machine vision and vision-based control. It is a somewhat eclectic collection
reflecting my personal interest in areas of photometry, photogrammetry,
colorimetry. It includes over 100 functions spanning operations such as image
file reading and writing, acquisition, display, filtering, blob, point and line
feature extraction, mathematical morphology, homographies, visual Jacobians,
camera calibration and color space conversion.

ROBOTICS, VISION & CONTROL



The book has been extensively revised throughout and includes new figures, more
consistent notation and new content including: Lie groups, matrix exponentials
and twists; inertial navigation; differential drive robots; lattice planners;
pose-graph SLAM and map making; restructured material on arm-robot kinematics
and dynamics; series-elastic actuators and operational-space control; Lab color
spaces; light field cameras; structured light, bundle adjustment and visual
odometry; and photometric visual servoing.
