Here's described how to construct the matrices T_RoLe and T_RoRe whose definition is given in ICubForwardKinematics. The matrices are constructed in two steps i.e. T_RoRe = T_Ro0 * T_0n and T_RoLe = T_Ro0 * T'_0n. The first matrix T_Ro0 describes the rigid roto-translation from the root reference frame to points in the 0th reference frame as defined by the Denavit-Hartenberg convention. In this case T_Ro0 is just a rigid rotation which aligns the z-axis with the first joint of the waist. The second matrices T_0n and T'_0n correspond to the Denavit-Hartenberg description of the right and left eye forward kinematic, i.e. the roto-translation from the 0th reference frame to the nth reference frame being n the number of degrees of freedom. The forward kinematic T_0n in this case includes the waist and the right eye forward kinematics. The forward kinematic T'_0n in this case includes the waist and the left eye forward kinematics.

The matrices T_0n and T'_0n are themselves the composition of n matrices as defined by the DH convention: T_0n = T_01 T_12 ... T_(n-1)n and T'_0n = T'_01 T'_12 ... T'_(n-1)n. Here is the updated matlab code for computing the forward kinematics with the Denavit Hartenberg notation

The eyes reference frames are located in the palm as shown in the CAD figure. The '''x''' axis is in '''red'''. The '''y''' axis is in '''green'''. The '''z''' axis is in blue.

Here is the matrix T\_Ro0:

0 0 -1 0
1 0 0 0
0 0 0 1

Here is the table of the actual DH parameters which describe T\_01, T\_12, ... T\_(n-1)n.
