Using breve with MATLAB

Hello,

I need to use a robot simulator for my thesis, and it looks like breve might be a good choice. However, I need to be able to use MATLAB for neural networks. I was wondering if anyone has written an interface between breve and MATLAB before? If not, is this something that can be done "easily"?

I mainly need MATLAB to read sensor input from breve, and breve to read motor output from MATLAB. I suppose that the simplest way would just be to read/write from/to a shared file. However, if there's a "cleaner" way to do it, I'd like to hear.

Thanks in advance,
fbar

I would suggest the shortest route first. Archive an object, write it to a file, or use the log output. Then read the file in an editor parse out the data you don't need, automate it if you can, and import the new file into Matlab.

If Matlab supports it, you can use networking, as discussed in the breve documentation. Far less error-prone than sharing a file.

Maybe some people working with Octave http://www.octave.org/ have some ideas?

Octave being an open-source variant of MatLab, you're bound to find some hardcore tinkerers there, heehee...
