Introduction - If you have any usage issues, please Google them yourself
The Toolbox has always provided many functions
that are useful for the study and simulation of classical
arm-type robotics, for example such things
as kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory generation.
The Toolbox is based on a very general method of
representing the kinematics and dynamics of seriallink
manipulators. These parameters are encapsulated
in MATLAB
R objects—robot objects can be
created by the user for any serial-link manipulator
and a number of examples are provided for well know robots such as the Puma 560
and the Stanford arm amongst others. The Toolbox also provides functions for manipulating
and converting between datatypes such as vectors, homogeneous transformations
and unit-quaternions which are necessary to represent 3-dimensional position and
orientation.
