%RobotArm Serial-link robot arm class
%
% A subclass of SerialLink than includes an interface to a physical robot.
%
% Methods::
%
%  plot          display graphical representation of robot
%-
%  teach         drive the physical and graphical robots
%  mirror        use the robot as a slave to drive graphics
%-
%  jmove         joint space motion of the physical robot
%  cmove         Cartesian space motion of the physical robot
%
% plus all other methods of SerialLink
%
% Properties::
%
% as per SerialLink class
%
% Note::
%  - the interface to a physical robot, the machine, should be an abstract
%  superclass but right now it isn't
%  - RobotArm is a subclass of SerialLink.
%  - RobotArm is a reference (handle subclass) object.
%  - RobotArm objects can be used in vectors and arrays
