mdl_nao
Create model of Aldebaran NAO humanoid robot
MDL_NAO is a script that creates several workspace variables
| leftarm | left-arm kinematics (4DOF) |
| rightarm | right-arm kinematics (4DOF) |
| leftleg | left-leg kinematics (6DOF) |
| rightleg | right-leg kinematics (6DOF) |
which are each SerialLink objects that describe the kinematic
characteristics of the arms and legs of the NAO humanoid.

Notes
- SI units of metres are used.
- The base transform of arms and legs are constant with respect to the
torso frame, which is assumed to be the constant value when the robot
is upright. Clearly if the robot is walking these base transforms
will be dynamic.
- The first reference uses Modified DH notation, but doesn't explicitly
mention this, and the parameter tables have the wrong column headings
for Modified DH parameters.
- TODO; add joint limits
- TODO; add dynamic parameters
