star2dust/Robotics-Toolbox

This project is a legacy script collection for the MATLAB ecosystem. While Peter Corke's Robotics Toolbox was once the academic gold standard, the field has decisively shifted toward Python-based frameworks (Pinocchio, PyBullet, JAX) and high-fidelity GPU-accelerated simulators (NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo). With only 57 stars and zero activity in recent years, the project has no momentum. Its defensibility is near zero as it is a derivative work fixing bugs in a specific version of a third-party toolbox. Platform domination risk is high because MathWorks (MATLAB) has since released official, robust robotics toolboxes that supersede community-maintained patches. Frontier labs like DeepMind (MuJoCo) and NVIDIA are now the primary drivers of robotics simulation infrastructure, making MATLAB-based academic scripts increasingly obsolete for modern research and industrial applications.
