First, you will learn how to model the rigid-body mechanics of a walking robot using Simscape Multibody. You can use MATLAB variables to define the geometric and inertial parameters of the robot such that they can be tuned. Alternatively, you can import an existing robot model supported CAD platforms such as SolidWorks or Onshape, or from URDF files. You will also see how to model physical contact between the feet and ground.

We will show how you can create detailed robot actuator models using Simulink® and Simscape™. In addition to directly defining the motion of the robot actuators, you can use Simulink to design motion planning and closed-loop control algorithms and evaluate their performance.
