How do I communicate between Matlab and Universal Robots PolyScope?

Hello. I am currently working with a Universal Robot using the PolyScope user interface. I need this robot to communicate with my Matlab code which does image processing and then classifies the image to either category A, B or C. I have created a variable on the Matlab code called "imageSignal" which returns either 1, 2 or 3 depending on the category. What I need is to send this variable to the robot in order for it to know what to do in case imageSignal =1, 2 or 3.

I have read about RTDE and using TCP/IP communication but I do not know how to do it with Matlab or where to start.

Could any of you help me?

Hello, I believe this would be a great place to get started. It links to the documentation for the TCP/IP Communication framework offered by MATLAB. You should also consult the Polyscope Universal Robot documentation for the specific commands and data format required for communication with the robot controller.
