如何将ROS数据类型转换为MATLAB数据类型

** Message数据转化**

由于在Matlab中，ROS消息的每个元素是独立的，因此无法验证具有多个值在数学层面上的有效性。因为每个值都可以单独设置，所以消息不会将属性作为一个整体进行验证。

例如，四元数消息包含w、x、y和z属性，但该消息并不强制四元数作为一个整体是有效的。所以有可能在单独修改一个四元数信息后，这个四元数是不符合模型的。

同时消息属性还可以具有各种数据类型。MATLAB使用ROS设置的规则来确定这些数据类型。

为此，这些数据类型必须映射到MATLAB数据类型才能在MATLAB中使用。下表总结了如何将ROS数据类型转换为MATLAB数据类型。

同时在Matlab中也自带了一些常用的msg包，这些包包含了常用的消息类型、服务类型或操作类型。可以在MATLAB命令窗口中调用rosmsg list查看，当然也可以通过第二讲提到的方法。

通过ROS Toolbox的ROS自定义消息支持来生成新的消息定义。同时值得注意的是，在指定消息类型时，输入字符向量必须与rosmsg列表中列出的字符向量完全匹配。
