Asynchronous Multi-Body Framework (AMBF) from WPI, A. Munawar

"This multi-body framework offers real-time dynamic simulation of multi-bodies (robots, free bodies and multi-link puzzles) coupled with real-time haptic interaction via several haptic devices (CHAI-3D) (including dVRK Manipulators and Razer Hydras). It also provides a python client for training NN and RL Agents on real-time data with simulation in the loop. This framework is built around several external tools that include an extended version of CHAI-3D (developed along-side AMBF), BULLET-Physics, Open-GL, GLFW, yaml-cpp, pyyaml and Eigen to name a few. Each external library has it's own license that can be found in the corresponding subfolder."
