growing importance of ROS in research and commercial robotics, engineeringeducators are introducing ROS into the engineering curriculum [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. As canbe noted from the literature, ROS is powerful technology but has a steep learning curve, whichmakes the interface with MATLAB an attractive alternative for educators. Several educatorshave reported results integrating MATLAB Robotics Toolkit with ROS middleware for mobilerobotics [8], [9]. to improve student accessibility. One researcher has surveyed 75 roboticseducational programs (undergraduate and graduate) and indicated MATLAB is the mostcommonly used software language in robotics programs [10]. It was also reported in the samestudy that there was a general need for a low
