On the kinematics of robot heads

The following presents a standardized approach to the kinematics of a generalized stereo robot head, providing both forward and inverse kinematic solutions as well as a discussion on the head Jacobian. The paper is intended as a comprehensive tutorial and as a standard notation reference for researchers in the field of active vision.
