MATLAB :
[MATLAB is going to be a crucial component to our teams success. As a
team member, you have access to a
]free [copy
of this software ($99 USD for students), which includes all of the
MATLAB software packages (valued at $35 USD
each).]
[It is important that you read the following message
carefully:]
[We are all sharing
]one[ MATLAB
license, and only have enough for each person on the team to use the
license ]once[,
on ]one[
device. If you try to use the license on another computer or decide to
share the license with a friend, your MATLAB license privileges will be
removed. You must use the name that was addressed to you in this email
to sign up with your MathWorks account so that we can verify it is
you.]
[The instructions below describe how you can activate your license and
download the MATLAB
software:]
[License Number:
40572321]
[Activation Key:
17831-44747-29479-26828-35899]
[To use MATLAB software you need to associate your MathWorks account
with a license, download the software, install the software, and finally
activate the
software.]
[Associate to License]
[If you have not yet created a MathWorks account, you can do so
here: ]https://www.mathworks.com/accesslogin/createProfile.do
[Once you have a MathWorks account, you need to associate it with a
license. Your activation key is included in this email and is required
to complete the association process. Instructions for associating with a
license are available
here: ]http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/102871
[Download and Install]
[Once you are associated with a license you need to download the
software. Download instructions are available
here: ]http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/98268
[The installation will begin as soon as the download is
complete.]
[Activate your Software]
[Once the software is installed MATLAB will attempt to activate itself.
You will be required to enter your MathWorks account credentials again
for activation. If the software does not automatically attempt to
activate, you will need to launch the activation
client: ]http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/99457-how-do-i-activate-matlab
[In some setups, such as one where a firewall is in place or a proxy is
filtering all network activity, you may need to activate MATLAB
manually. Instructions for manual activation can be found
here: ]http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/105854

ROS:
Matlab has ROS bridge implemented in its simulink. So we can run the Simulink on A Windows machine (to run UNREAL) and then connect the matlab to a machine on a same network to run the ROS nodes.
You can start setting up this by following the steps shown in https://www.mathworks.com/help/ros/ug/get-started-with-ros.html.
After setting up your network and connecting to the ROS machine you can control your ROS network with matlab. https://www.mathworks.com/help/ros/network-connection-and-exploration.html?s_tid=CRUX_lftnav is some useful functionalities.
[Next, you need to use ROS toolbox in Simulink to Publish/Subscribe to a ROS node. https://www.mathworks.com/help/ros/ug/get-started-with-ros-in-simulink.html can give you a general demo of how the toolbox will work]
\
[If you have any questions, you can also post in Discord or Ask the
Simulation
Lead.]
[Thank you,]
