The '''Robotics Toolbox''' is [[MATLAB]] Toolbox software that supports research and teaching into arm-type and mobile [[robotics]].

This is [[free software]] but requires the proprietary [[MATLAB]] environment in order to execute. A subset of functions have been ported to [[GNU Octave]].
The Toolbox forms the basis of the exercises in the textbooks.

The Toolbox provides functions for manipulating and converting between datatypes such as: vectors;[[Transformation matrix|homogeneous transformations]]; [[roll-pitch-yaw]] and [[Euler angle|Euler]] angles and [[Quaternion|unit-quaternions]] which are necessary to represent 3-dimensional position and orientation.
