This submission consists of educational MATLAB and Simulink examples for trajectory generation and evaluation of robot manipulators.

All examples feature the 7-DOF Kinova Gen3 Ultra lightweight robotic manipulator: https://www.kinovarobotics.com/en/products/robotic-arms/gen3-ultra-lightweight-robot

There is a presaved MATLAB rigid body tree model of the Kinova Gen3; however, you can
access the 3D model description from the Kinova Kortex GitHub repository: https://github.com/Kinovarobotics/ros_kortex

For more information on the Robotics System Toolbox functionality for manipulators,
see the documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/robotics/manipulators.html

For more background information on trajectory planning, refer to this presentation: https://cw.fel.cvut.cz/old/_media/courses/a3m33iro/080manipulatortrajectoryplanning.pdf
