Frictional contact-implicit operational space control in SIMPLE, coming soon to an arxiv and git repo near you! 😃

Tired of lengthy computations to derive scaling laws? This post is made for you: discover the sharpness of the z-transform! francisbach.com/z-transform/

Playing around in our simulator (SIMPLE, in alpha) and renderer (Candlewick, found here: github.com/Simple-Robot...)

dear imgui 1.92.1 released! github.com/ocornut/imgu... Maintenance/followup release with various fonts & backends related fixes (e.g. Emscripten content scaling fixes. Vulkan fixes. Raw OSX backend fix for multi-viewports)

Very happy to announce that our collision algorithms library Coal (formerly HPP-FCL) now supports @wjakob.bsky.social's nanobind for its Python bindings! 😀 github.com/coal-library... The new bindings will be available in package managers in the next release.

Starting to do push-ups in the new simulator (Simple) with a full-fat NCP friction model. PD controller script from Fabian Schramm.

Testing out implementing inverse dynamics in our new simulator (SIMPLE)

Cool project I found reimplementing a tiny minecraft clone using the new GPU API in SDL3 @sdlcommits.libsdl.org github.com/jsoulier/blo...

I've just made the first pre-release (v0.0.1) of Candlewick, my #SDL3 -based renderer for robotics applications (visualizing stuff from Pinocchio, namely) github.com/ManifoldFR/c...

Software announcement: later this year, the Pinocchio rigid-body dynamics library will be switching to nanobind (from the legacy Boost.Python) for its Python bindings! Read the announcement here: github.com/stack-of-tas...

New post up on personal site about the new (very much WIP) #SDL3 -based renderer I made for robotics applications: manifoldfr.github.io/news/rendere...

I started working on a cross-platform 3D renderer (for robotics) based on SDL3's GPU API github.com/ManifoldFR/c...
