Over at the MathWorks discussion forums this month, some of us have been vibe coding MATLAB Christmas trees using various AI models. One of my favorites came from Vasilis Bellos who worked with Claude Opus 4.5 to enhance his code from last year which was…

I admire the color scheme in the New York Times Games section and occasionally make it my colororder.

The courseware for book. Xue D Y and Pan F. MATLAB and Simulink in Action. Programming Scientific Computing and Simulation. Springer, 2024

Google released a new agentic development environment called Antigravity. And it works great with MATLAB. (It's wicked as they say in Boston!)

If you are looking to defy gravity, here is a fun use case for an app leveraging the power of MATLAB and Antigravity:…

Battery electric vehicle with liquid-cooled motor.

Battery pack model for thermal management tasks, with modules of cells in series and parallel.

Electric and hybrid electric aircraft models for component sizing

Four-bar linkage lengths are optimized using MATLAB to follow a desired trajectory.

Fuel cell electric vehicle with battery model and cooling system.

Manipulator and mobile robot models for trajectory planning and actuator analysis.

Lift table with hydraulic actuation, controlled by an analog circuit, with a 3-D scissor mechanism.

Predictive maintenance algorithm developed using digital twin of hydraulic pump modeled in Simscape

Robot arm transfers parts between two conveyor belts

Quadruped robot model with electrical actuation, including gait analysis and design workflow.

Scissor lift built from a library of parameterized, reusable components, with a hydraulic actuator.
