Hello Paolo:
I suspect you are hinting at calling these affine transformations rather
than homogeneous, though I am not sure. I don't have the information at my
fingertips to trace it back further than below, but these would be great
starting points:
Denavit, J. and Hartenberg, R. S., "Kinematic Notation for Lower-Pair
Mechanisms Based on Matricies," ASME J. of Applied Mechanics, June
1955: 215-221.
Hartenberg, R. S. and Denavit, J., "Kinematic Synthesis of Linkages,"
McGraw-Hill, New York, 1964, Chapter 12.
In robotics, these two are credited with quite a number of applications,
however they are probably not the first to use it. These are the earliest
references I have found for this transformation and I suspect that one of
those articles will have other references or authors who did it [probably
much] earlier.
Good luck tracing back the history, I'm interested in what you uncover.
Best regards,
Dan
