Widow wx200 Robotic arm GUI

During the summer of 2020, I interned at Virginia Tech's Advanced Controls Systems Lab, where I worked with a team of four engineering students to develop a path planning algorithm for a Widow X 200 robotic arm. We implemented the algorithm in three environments: real-world, Gazebo, and Simulink simulations. I created a user-friendly GUI that allowed users to select the desired environment and interact with the robotic arm. My work included using C++ for motion planning in Gazebo, employing MATLAB as a ROS node to operate the robotic arm, and developing the GUI for seamless operation across the three environments.
