controller from MATLAB

[ntc]

Hi,

I want to use a position controller from Matlab to control the robot in V-REP. Can I send the joint torque to the robot of V-REP from matlab? I cannot find the suitable API. Thank you very much!

Hello,

have a look at simxSetJointForce.

Thank you for your reply. The function is "Sets the maximum force or torque that a joint can exert", instead of give a force/torque to it.

That's how the physics engines operate: they apply the max. force or torque, until the desired velocity is reached. So in your case, simply set a very high Target velocity, then modulate the torque or force with simxSetJointForce.
