(due to local convex-triangle collisions causing opposite contact normals, use the pre-computed edge normal)
PyBullet: expose experimental continuous collision detection for maximal coordinate rigid bodies, to prevent tunneling.
p.loadURDF("r2d2.urdf", flags=p.URDF_USE_IMPLICIT_CYLINDER)
allow to enable/disable deterministicOverlappingPairs through an API
p.setPhysicsEngineParameter(deterministicOverlappingPairs = False)
Use btCylinderShapeZ for URDF cylinder, instead of converting it to a btConvexHullShape.
Implement PyBullet.getCollisionShapeData
Extend PyBullet.getDynamicsInfo / b3GetDynamicsInfo, remove flag (don't rely on API returning a fixed number of elements in a list!)
Extend PyBullet.getJointInfo: add parentIndex
pass events (keyboard, mouse, vr controllers etc) to the plugin, and clear them after the tick callback, so that it doesn't interfere with Python 'getEvents'
Add preTickPluginCallback/postTickPluginCallback
User pointer for b3PluginContext, to store objects (class/struct instances)
Pass ints and floats as optional argument for plugin executePluginCommand
See quadruped.py for an example:
p.startStateLogging(p.STATE_LOGGING_GENERIC_ROBOT, "genericlogdata.bin", maxLogDof = 16, logFlags = p.STATE_LOG_JOINT_TORQUES)
Thanks to JulianYG, in pull request https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/pull/1273
pybullet/C-API, expose linear/angular damping
fix some warnings (param name needs to be same in .h and .cpp)
fix potential startup threading issue (args were deleted in main thread while still possibly use in child thread)
fix for spinning/rolling friction in case of mixing maximal and reduced coordinate btMultiBody+btRigidBody
pybullet.changeVisualShape(obUid,linkIndex,specularColor=[R,G,B]) and Bullet C-API b3UpdateVisualShapeSpecularColor
Bug fixes in b3ResourcePath::findResourcePath resolution.
add stadium.sdf and roboschool/models_outdoor/stadium assets https://github.com/openai/roboschool/tree/master/roboschool/models_outdoor/stadium
minor fixes to obj2sdf
Bullet C-API b3ChangeDynamicsInfoSetSpinningFriction/RollingFriction/Resitution
b3PhysicsParamSetRestitutionVelocityThreshold, / pybullet.setPhysicsEngineParameter restitutionVelocityThreshold:
if the velocity is below this threshhold, the restitution is zero (this prevents energy buildup at near-resting state)
pybullet restitution.py example.
example:
kuka = p.loadURDF("kuka_iiwa/model.urdf")
p.getNumJoints(kuka)
pybullet.addUserDebugLine([0,0,0],[0,0,0.1],[0,0,1],trackObjectUniqueId=2,trackLinkIndex=6)
pybullet.addUserDebugText("tip", [0,0,0.1],textColorRGB=[1,0,0],trackObjectUniqueId=2,trackLinkIndex=6)
Also allow to render text using a given orientation (instead of pointing to the camera), example:
pybullet.addUserDebugText("tip", [0,0,0.1],textColorRGB=[1,0,0],textOrientation=[0,0,0,1], trackObjectUniqueId=2,trackLinkIndex=6)
Add drawTexturedTriangleMesh, for drawing 3d text.
Expose readSingleInstanceTransformToCPU, to extract position/orientation from graphics index.
updateTexture: allow to not flip texels around up axis
