%MDL_PLANAR3 Create model of a simple planar 3-link mechanism
%
% MDL_PLANAR2 is a script that creates the workspace variable p3 which
% describes the kinematic characteristics of a simple redundant planar
% 3-link mechanism.
%
% Also defines the vector:
%   qz   corresponds to the zero joint angle configuration.
%
%
% Notes::
% - Moves in the XY plane.
% - No dynamics in this model.
%
% See also SerialLink, mdl_twolink, mdl_planar1, mdl_planar2.

% MODEL: generic, planar, 3DOF, standard_DH
