4 Mar 2011	MathWorks Classroom Resources Team	The iRobot Create simulator is a MATLAB toolbox that allows the user to control a virtual iRobot Create robot. It comes with: * A GUI for visualizing the robot movements in the virtual enviroments, and for interactively controlling the robot * A GUI for creating new virtual environments * A MATLAB API for controlling the virtual robot using a MATLAB function. The MATLAB API matches that used by the "Matlab Toolbox for the iRobot Create" (created by Joel Esposito and Owen Barton at the U.S. Naval Academy) which allows a MATLAB program to control an actual iRobot Create. Therefore, a user can use the same MATLAB function to control either a virtual or a physical iRobot Create robot. The iRobot Create simulator was created by Cameron Salzberger, K-Y Daisy Fan and Hadas Kress-Gazit of Cornell University.
