A presentation given for ME 8287: Advanced Robotics with Medical Applications, at the University of Minnesota, on using Python for rigid body dynamics analysis and control.
In it I discuss the Python scientific ecosystem, SymPy, and the PyDy workflow.
Slides are available here.
The demo is a modified version of the inverted-pendulum example in the PyDy Repo. To try the demo out for yourself, you need the following:
- SymPy
- numpy
- scipy
- ipython
- matplotlib
- python-control
- A C compiler (such as
gcc)
