%MDL_PHANTOMX Create model of PhantomX pincher manipulator
%
% MDL_PHANTOMX is a script that creates the workspace variable px which
% describes the kinematic characteristics of a PhantomX Pincher Robot, a 4
% joint hobby class  manipulator by Trossen Robotics.
%
% Also define the workspace vectors:
%   qz         zero joint angle configuration
%
% Notes::
% - Uses standard DH conventions.
% - Tool centrepoint is middle of the fingertips.
% - All translational units in mm.
%
