This document is a demonstration document, prepared for PolyX Ltd., demonstrating the use of the Polynomial Toolbox for Matlab when designing residual generators for fault diagnosis. A brief introduction to the residual generation problem for fault diagnosis in linear systems is given and a solution based on polynomial methods are outlined. Also, a design example, complete with MATLAB code illu...

The Ratcliff diffusion model has proved to be a useful tool in reaction time analysis. However, its use has been limited by the practical difficulty of estimating the parameters. We present a software tool, the Diffusion Model Analysis Toolbox (DMAT), intended to make the Ratcliff diffusion model for reaction time and accuracy data more accessible to experimental psychologists. The tool takes t...

This paper announces the availability of a fixed point toolbox for the Matlab compatible software package Octave. This toolbox is released under the GNU Public License, and can be used to model the losses in algorithms implemented in hardware. Furthermore, this paper presents as an example of the use of this toolbox, the effects of a fixed point implementation on the precision of an OFDM modula...

CGH-Plotter is a MATLAB toolbox with a graphical user interface for the analysis of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) microarray data. CGH-Plotter provides a tool for rapid visualization of CGH-data according to the locations of the genes along the genome. In addition, the CGH-Plotter identifies regions of amplifications and deletions, using k-means clustering and dynamic programming. The...

S-TaLiRo is a Matlab toolbox that searches for falsifying trajectories of temporal logic properties of Simulink/Stateflow models. It can analyze arbitrary Simulink models or user defined functions that model the system. At the heart of the tool, we use randomized testing based on stochastic optimization techniques including Monte-Carlo methods and ant-colony optimization. Among the advantages o...

Collaborative robots are increasingly present in our lives. The KUKA LBR iiwa equipped with the KUKA Sunrise.OS controller is a good example of a collaborative/sensitive robot. This paper presents a MATLAB Toolbox, the KUKA Sunrise Toolbox (KST), to interface KUKA Sunrise.OS using MATLAB. The KST contains functionalities for networking, real-time control, point-to-point motion, setters and gett...

A robust PID controller design toolbox for Matlab is presented in this paper. The design is based on linearizing or convexifying the conventional non-convex constraints on the classical robustness margins or H∞ constraints. Then the existing optimization solvers can be used to compute the controller parameters. The software can be used in a wide range of controller design problems, including mu...

This paper presents a case study in combining Lego Mindstorms NXT with Matlab/Simulink to help students in an undergraduate Machine Learning course study genetic algorithm design and testing. The project uses the VU-LRT toolbox to enable students to access the hardware capabilities of the Mindstorms platform from within Matlab. The course’s enrollment was comprised of students from several majo...

A genetic algorithm implemented in Matlab is presented. Matlab is used for the following reasons: it provides many built in auxiliary functions useful for function optimization; it is completely portable; and it is eecient for numerical computations. The genetic algorithm toolbox developed is tested on a series of non-linear, multi-modal, non-convex test problems and compared with results using...
