We are currently looking for software to address multiple issues:
Developing control algorithms for legged robots with multiple non-traditional actuators and sensors. Some robots may eventually involve
multi-DOF manipulation.
Downloading the created control software onto standard OTS microprocessors (HC11, etc) for self-contained robots.
Controlling instrumentation of robots and other lab projects.
Analyzing data (granted Excel will generally work for this, but if it's built in, great).
I've been looking at the literature for both LabVIEW and MATLAB/Simulink. My take on it (correct me if I'm wrong here) is that LabVIEW is
essentially an instrumentation and process control package, and Simulink is a simulation package, but both have sort of grown towards each
other and have a lot of overlap.
What are people's opinions on one package vs. the other? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each?
