Expose inverse dynamics to Bullet shared memory API, through b3CalculateInverseDynamicsCommandInit and
b3GetStatusInverseDynamicsJointForces command/status. See PhysicsClientExeample or pybullet for usage.
Add option for Windows and Linux to set python_lib_dir and python_include_dir for premake and --enable_pybullet option
Expose inverse dynamics to pybullet: [force] = p.calculateInverseDynamics(objectIndex,[q],[qdot],[acc])
Thanks to Jeff Bingham for the suggestion.
Uses Kuka IIWA model description and 4 methods:
Selectively Damped Least Squares,Damped Least Squares,
Jacobi Transpose, Jacobi Pseudo Inverse
Tweak some PD values in Inverse Dynamics example and Robot example.
Add option to have Z as up-axis for VR examples.
Add OpenVR LICENSE + README file
Don't crash VR app when no HMD is detected, just exit.
For now, don't request debug lines in client, it slows down physics server in VR mode too much.
Improve CMake Windows support to build PyBullet (BUILD_PYBULLET)
Implement b3LoadSdfCommandInit in shared memory API
Implement pybullet SDF loading binding, in loadSDF API
TODO for SDF support is provide way to query object/link/joint information.
add an example using 'direct'
fix the send-desired-state commands, to add flags for arguments set, using default values.
Start exposing SDF loading in shared memory api, not fully implemented yet.
See bullet3/examples/Importers/ImportURDFDemo/DefaultVisualShapeConverter.h
Give the kuka_iiwa/model.urdf some blue color, not just orange, to mimick the original a bit better
Preparation for the CMD_CAMERA_IMAGE_COMPLETED command, to expose a virtual camera to the robotics API
Parse and use colors from URDF file (single rgba color per link, not per visual)
Rename btMultiBody 'stepVelocities' to 'computeAccelerationsArticulatedBodyAlgorithmMultiDof'
btHashMap, add const Value* operator[]
remove a few more obsolete btMultiBody methods (on the non-multi-dof path)
fix spelling typo in fillConstraintJacobianMultiDof (fil -> fill)
Add mention to Jakub Stepien for his work on btMultiBody
Add flags BOX_SHAPE_HAS_MASS and BOX_SHAPE_HAS_COLLISION_SHAPE_TYPE to CMD_CREATE_RIGID_BODY
(which maps to CMD_CREATE_BOX_COLLISION_SHAPE for backward compatibility for now)
Need to add way to receive world transform
(force/torque sensor needs new API)
in a nutshell, users of shared memory physics API should not
directly poke into shared memory, not fill 'SharedMemorCommand'
nor read SharedMemoryStatus directly. The C-API declares 'handles' for those,
to avoid it from happening.
need to add streaming because memory is too small to store all lines
initial test of PD control in physics server, need to switch to PD control for motor constraint, instead of using external forces.
only allow server to create and initialize shared memory,
client will report failure
intercept signals to cleanup shared memory in standalone app, thanks to
Roland Philippsen.
(load urdf, get state, set desired state, step simulation)
Create SharedMemoryCommand and put that into the queue
move arrays for Q, Qdot etc into the command
