The Simple Simulator: Simulation Made Simple

Simple is a new (differentiable) physical engine based on recent progress on solving contact simulation and leveraging Pinocchio for fast dynamics computations and HPP-FCL for efficient collision detection. While first targetting robotics applications, Simple can be exploited in many other contexts: video games, system design, graphical animations, biomechanics, etc.

Simple is developed by the WILLOW team at Inria. The code associated with Simple will be released as open-source in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
