1. An eye cartridge for use with a robotic head frame, the eye cartridge comprising:
an eye cartridge frame;
a first actuator mounted at a first location on the eye cartridge frame, the first actuator having a first actuator output;
a first eye feature mount coupled to the first actuator output, wherein the first eye feature mount is rotatable about a first axis in response to operation of the first actuator;
a second actuator mounted at a second location on the eye cartridge frame that is spatially separated from the first location, the second actuator having a second actuator output;
a first mechanical linkage comprising a first linkage coupled to the second actuator output, a second linkage coupled to the first eye feature mount, and a first movable joint formed between the first linkage and the second linkage, wherein the first mechanical linkage is movable in response to operation of the second actuator, and wherein the first eye feature mount is rotatable about a second axis in response to movement of the first mechanical linkage, wherein the second axis is parallel to and laterally offset from an actuator axis of the second actuator; and
a set of couplers disposed in spaced relation on a peripheral wall of the eye cartridge frame, wherein the set of couplers engage a complementary set of couplers on the robotic head frame when the eye cartridge is received in a socket in the robotic head frame.
