template<typename T >
Isometry3< T >	getFK (const Eigen::Matrix< T, Eigen::Dynamic, 1 > &joint_values, const Eigen::Matrix< T, Eigen::Dynamic, 4 > &offsets) const
	Calculates the forward kinematics for the chain given a set of joint values and DH parameter offsets Note: the transform to the n-th link is calculated, where n is the size of joint_values.
Eigen::VectorXd	createUniformlyRandomPose () const
	Creates a random joint pose by choosing a random uniformly distributed joint value for each joint in the chain.
std::size_t	dof () const
	Returns the number of degrees of freedom (i.e. DH transforms) of the chain.
Eigen::MatrixX4d	getDHTable () const
	Gets a dof() x 4 matrix of the DH parameters.
std::vector< DHJointType >	getJointTypes () const
	Returns a the joint types of the kinematic chain in order.
std::vector< std::array< std::string, 4 > >	getParamLabels () const
	Returns the labels of the DH parameters for each DH transform in the chain.
Eigen::Isometry3d	getBaseOffset () const
	Gets the base offset of the transform.
Eigen::Isometry3d	getRelativeTransform (int joint_index, double value) const
	Get a joints relative joint transform.

Protected Attributes
