Having taken Tedrake's underactuated robotics class which uses Drake's python bindings, it is an amazing collection of tools and examples of algorithms. Really great for learning.
I would say is very focused on research and quick prototyping, however.
MIT Driverless experimented with using Drake in 2018-19 race car, but we found that just implementing everything in eigen was more flexible, removed a dependency, and more transparent for tinkering.
- Ericson2314 6y agoAh the classic problem. Someday we'll get our shit together in Haskell land and just blow away these awful protype/production dicotomies.
- gegtik 6y agoNot if the smalltalkers get there first
- nix23 6y agoNot if CPU's are fast enough to do it in Julia :-)
- Ericson2314 6y agoAh, Julia shares my goals, but I really don't like it's methods. To be we absolutely need static types and super high level stuff to both: - keep the code closer to it's purpose (e.g. do linear algebra and proof of why this program does the stats you want it to together) - be super architecture agnostic (With lambda generalized to arbitrary categorizes we can just elaborate to Vect and fuse functional pipelines with matrix multiplication).
