MathWorks
"Accelerating the pace of engineering and science"
US developer of MATLAB and Simulink, providing software and toolboxes for robotics modeling, control, perception, and AI.
MathWorks is an American privately held, employee-owned software company founded in 1984 by Cleve Moler, Jack Little, and Steve Bangert, headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts. It develops MATLAB, a programming and numeric computing platform, and Simulink, a graphical environment for modeling, simulating, and analyzing multidomain dynamical systems; together these products are widely used industry and academic standards for engineering and scientific computation. The company serves more than five million users across over 100,000 organizations worldwide and employs over 6,500 people across dozens of global locations.
For robotics, MathWorks provides a dedicated software stack rather than physical hardware. The Robotics System Toolbox offers algorithms and hardware connectivity for designing, simulating, testing, and deploying manipulator and mobile robot applications, including ground vehicles, and provides full integration between MATLAB, Simulink, and the Robot Operating System (ROS). Complementary products support navigation and path planning, kinematics and dynamics, sensor modeling, perception and computer vision, sensor fusion, motion control, reinforcement learning, and deployment of AI and control algorithms onto embedded targets.
MathWorks tools are used to model robot dynamics, design and tune controllers, develop autonomy and perception pipelines, generate production C/C++ and HDL code, and validate behavior in simulation before deployment. Its R2026a release brings additional AI capabilities for embedded systems development. As a software and algorithm provider spanning modeling, control, autonomy, and AI, MathWorks supports robotics developers across manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, research, and other sectors, making it a relevant software supplier within the robotics ecosystem.
