# mdl_stanford

Create model of Stanford arm

    mdl_stanford

Script creates the workspace variable stanf which describes the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the Stanford (Scheinman) arm.

Also defines the vectors:

qz | zero joint angle configuration.

## Note

- Gear ratios not currently known, though reflected armature inertia is known, so gear ratios are set to 1.
