Contact Bench

C++ implementation of various contact models and solvers used for robotics simulation.

The contact problem

The contact problem is formulated as a Non-linear Complementarity Problem (NCP):

$$ \begin{align} &c = G \lambda + g \ &\mathcal{K} \ni \lambda \perp c + {\Phi}(c) \in \mathcal{K} \ \end{align} $$

Several algorithms solving this problem or a relaxation of it are implemented and empirically evaluated. We also benchmark various algorithms for gradient computation: automatic and implicit differentiation.

Requirements

We use Pinocchio for free dynamics and Delassus computation. Collision detection and its gradients are performed with hppfcl. The QP solver ProxSuite is used in some contact models and to compute derivatives. Automatic differentiation is implemented via CppAD.
