%MDL_BAXTER Kinematic model of Baxter dual-arm robot
%
% MDL_BAXTER is a script that creates the workspace variables left and
% right which describes the kinematic characteristics of the two 7-joint
% arms of a Rethink Robotics Baxter robot using standard DH conventions.
%
% Also define the workspace vectors:
%   qz         zero joint angle configuration
%   qr         vertical 'READY' configuration
%   qd         lower arm horizontal as per data sheet
%
% Notes::
% - SI units of metres are used.
