we now support pulling robot asset from remote directly :), so better use that instead of copying files to our repo: https://docs.dimensional.org/capabilities/manipulation/adding_a_custom_arm/#4a-add-your-urdf

"""MicroDuck head FK and gaze IK in the upstream trunk/cv2 frames.

This is a small Python port of ``microduck/kinematics/src/head.rs``. The rest
transforms come from the pinned alpha MJCF. Policy-space limits are narrower
than mechanical travel, so gaze results are clamped to the trained envelope.

are we doing all the quaternion calculation by hand?

we have these in repo better align with those:

sorry for being pedantic I just feel like these math representation deserves more unified types... this is just an SE3 pose with quaternion as rotation repr so should be quite standard type

are these information not present in the mjcf? if so shouldn't we use proper fk lib for these calculation like pinocchio?
