mdl_m16.m

%MDL_M16 Create model of Fanuc M16 Mico manipulator
%
%      mdl_m16
%
% Script creates the workspace variable mico which describes the 
% kinematic characteristics of a Fanuc M16 manipulator
% using standard DH conventions.
%
% Also define the workspace vectors:
%   qz         zero joint angle configuration
%   qr         vertical 'READY' configuration
%   qd         lower arm horizontal as per data sheet
%
% Reference::
% - "Fanuc  M-16iB data sheet", http://www.robots.com/fanuc/m-16ib.
% - "Utilizing the Functional Work Space Evaluation Tool for Assessing a 
%    System Design and Reconfiguration Alternatives"
%    A. Djuric and R. J. Urbanic
%
% Notes::
% - Unlike most other mdl_xxx scripts this one is actually a function that
%   behaves like a script and writes to the global workspace.
