Editor's notes

Kinematics: per task brief this is a parallelogram-link articulated arm (J2/J3 on a linked forearm, 4 axes, not a SCARA); the Dobot page does not describe the structure, so arm_kinematics=articulated is from the brief. IP20 comes from a truncated FAQ answer on the Dobot page ('The MG400 is IP20 rated...'). Power 150 W, 48 V rated.
