# Robotics Playground MATLAB Robot

The Robotics playground provides an application programming interface to interact with a simple robot in a virtual environment using MATLAB commands in real-time.
See getting started example for a sample application.

mlrobot Creates a MATLAB Disc Robot in a virtual environment.
This class is intended for learning to program in
MATLAB using the Robotics Playground. This robot provides a virtual
environment visualization and access to sensors and actuators using
MATLAB functions.
EXAMPLE:
myRobot = mlrobot;
mlrobotstart(myRobot);
mlrobotsetmotorvoltage(myRobot,'left',3);
wheelSpeed = mlrobotreadwheelspeed(myRobot,'left');
mlrobotstop(myRobot);
Open getting started example with the following command:
>> edit mlrobot_getting_started
When using with a custom model that reuses the 'MATLAB Disc Robot' from
the Simulink Robotics Playground library, call this class by passing
the custom model name as an input
myRobot = mlrobot('customModelName')
