The RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox provides several MATLAB functions for controlling LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT robots, including NXT system features, sensors, and motors via a Bluetooth or USB connection. Also some helper functions for an effective programming are implemented.

The development of the RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox was motivated by a RWTH Aachen University student project - MATLAB meets LEGO Mindstorms - for electrical engineering students and therefore designed mainly for education purposes.
In winter 2008 over 380 students and 80 supervisors participated in this project and developed and programmed 200 robots based on the RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox for MATLAB.
