```


### 3.1 Installation
To install ROS packages, first downloaded them into your catkin workspace. Then use `catkin build` command from [catkin_tools](https://catkin-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html) to install them.


### 3.2 Passive Dynamics Simulation

Our Matlab implementation computes passive dynamics of the object, modeled as an oblique-cone that has a circular base and a vertical rod attached to it, as it rolls without slipping on a flat surface. Our dynamic formulation only considers the center of mass of the object, while ignoring its moment of inertia. The motion of the object is visualized in [RViz](http://wiki.ros.org/rviz).
