Detailed Description

Denavit-Hartenberg Parameters for describing joint connections.

We have changed from 'alternative' to 'standard' DH parameters on r5929. This should only affect spherical joints, of which we had no working examples. In the standard notation, a DH transform looks like two simpler transforms: One:

• m_d is the offset along the parent z to the common normal (new x)
• m_theta is the rotation about the parent z Two:
• m_a is the offset along the x axis after transform One
• m_alpha is the rotation about the x axis after transform One Check wikipedia's article for further details.
