The '''Robotics Toolbox''' is [[MATLAB]] toolbox software that supports research and teaching into arm-type and mobile [[robotics]]. While the Robotics Toolbox is [[free software]], it requires the proprietary [[MATLAB]] environment in order to execute. A subset of functions have been ported to [[GNU Octave]] and [[Python (programming_language)|Python]]. The Toolbox forms the basis of the exercises in several textbooks.

Line 26:

The Toolbox requires [[MATLAB]], commercial software from [[MathWorks]], in order to operate.

==Relationship to other toolboxes==

The Robotics System Toolbox for MATLAB<ref>{{Cite web |title=Robotics System Toolbox |url=https://www.mathworks.com/products/robotics.html |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=www.mathworks.com |language=en}}</ref> is proprietary software published by [[MathWorks]] which includes support for robot manipulators and mobile robotics. Its functionality significantly overlaps that of the Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB but the programming model is quite different.

The Robotics Toolbox for Python is a reimplementation of the Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB for Python 3.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Corke |first=Peter |last2=Haviland |first2=Jesse |date=2021-05-30 |title=Not your grandmother’s toolbox – the Robotics Toolbox reinvented for Python |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9561366/ |journal=2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) |___location=Xi'an, China |publisher=IEEE |pages=11357–11363 |doi=10.1109/ICRA48506.2021.9561366 |isbn=978-1-7281-9077-8}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Corke |first=Peter |title=Robotics Toolbox for Python |date=2022-07-23 |url=https://github.com/petercorke/robotics-toolbox-python |access-date=2022-07-23}}</ref> Its functionality is a superset of the Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB, the programming model is similar, and it supports additional methods to define a serial link manipulator including URDF and elementary transform sequences.
