How to interface MATLAB with Dynamixel motors through Arduino?

I obtained the following hardware configuration: an Arduino Mega 2560 board connected to two Dynamixel motors through a 3-state buffer. I have realised an Arduino program for both sending and receiving angular positions from the motors in order to control them. However, my idea is to create a connection such that OOP-based MATLAB objects can control my Dynamixel motors through Arduino. Is there a way to solve this problem?

There are guides on this page that shows how to create custom add-ons based on existing libraries - https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/ug/custom-arduino-add-on-device-library-and-code.html

If there is no existing library, then these motors are probably controlled using PWM or some other technique similar to that. Depending on the technique, there are possible MATLAB equivalents.
