Parallel to the SG-Lib, other research groups are also developing Software and Matlab toolboxes, which are important for Mechanisms, Robot Design and Computer Vision:

JACO={JC0,JC1,JC2,JC3,JC4,JC5,JC61,JCF} % create a cell solid consisting of 8 solids
Fchain=SGTframeChain(1:7,[7 'F' 8 'B' 7 'F2' 8 'B' 7 'F3' 8 'B']) % define the kinematic chain
w1=pi/2; % define a arbitrary angle
