Major research areas supported by Matlab-based electronics projects include machine learning, robotics, signal and image processing, power/energy control systems, and embedded systems. Modern example projects focus on space vector modulation and induction motor control, FIR filters on FPGAs, DC distribution for PV applications, low voltage energy harvesting, and multilevel inverters for solar power. Potential applications involve object tracking, antenna design, wireless channel estimation, laser guided vehicles, and indoor navigation using sensors.
