# mdl_offset3

A minimalistic 3DOF robot arm with shoulder offset

MDL_OFFSET3 is a script that creates the workspace variable off3 which describes the kinematic characteristics of a simple arm manipulator with a shoulder offset, using standard DH conventions.

Somewhat like a Puma arm without the wrist.

Also define the workspace vectors:

qz | zero joint angle configuration

## Notes

- Unlike most other mdl_xxx scripts this one is actually a function that behaves like a script and writes to the global workspace.
