'name', 'another Puma', ... 'base', transl(-0.5, 0.5, 0) ) hold on p560_2.plot(q); % We can also have multiple views of the same robot clf p560.plot(qr); figure p560.plot(qr); view(40,50) p560.plot(q) % Sometimes it's useful to be able to manually drive the robot around to % get an understanding of how it works. p560.teach() % Use the sliders to control the robot (in fact both views). Hit the red quit % button when you are done.
