# mdl_puma560

Create model of Puma 560 manipulator

    mdl_puma560

Script creates the workspace variable p560 which describes the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of a Unimation Puma 560 manipulator using standard DH conventions. The model includes armature inertia and gear ratios.

Also define the workspace vectors:

qz | zero joint angle configuration
qr | vertical 'READY' configuration
qstretch | arm is stretched out in the X direction
qn | arm is at a nominal non-singular configuration
