Drake v1.5.0
2022-07-14

Announcements

  • Drake now supports Ubuntu 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish") when building from source or using a nightly build (#17489).

    • We anticipate adding Jammy as a stable release in the next (August) release.

  • This release enables the new Semi-Analytic Primal ("SAP") contact solver option:

    • This is an option for the solver used to compute contact forces during simulation.
    • SAP has theoretical guaranteed global convergence and therefore should always succeed. As a result it is stable at larger time steps, yielding faster simulations.
    • There is a limit to how large the time step size can be:
      • The time step must be small enough to resolve the relevant dynamics of the problem.
      • Time step sizes that are too large might lead to tunneling -- objects passing through each other without interacting due to contact.
    • SAP exploits the sparsity of the problem, and so you can expect a greater speedup for complex models with multiple robots and objects.
    • The treatment of joint damping and rotor inertia is implicit and therefore very stable; this enables the modeling of stiff damping components. We strongly encourage you to include damping and/or rotor inertia for the modeling of small gripper fingers.
    • SAP uses a linear model of compliant contact forces in which dissipation is parameterized by drake::relaxation_time; see #17087 for some preliminary documentation. This parameter has a default value of 100 ms but you can change it on a per-geometry basis in your SDF/URDF model files.

    Keep in mind that the solver is relatively new and is likely to have bugs. Therefore, this solver is not on by default (the default remains the TAMSI solver). You can enable this solver for your simulation via the MultibodyPlant::set_contact_solver() method or the corresponding MultibodyPlantConfig option.

For details, refer to [Castro et al., 2022].

Breaking changes since v1.4.0

  • The protected constructor for class drake::multibody::Body removed the mass parameter (#17472).

    • Users who were subclassing Body will need to update their code to match.

  • The class drake::multibody::Body renamed a pure virtual member function from get_default_mass() to default_mass() (#17528).

    • Users who were subclassing Body will need to update their code to match.

Refer to our Drake Stability Guidelines for our policy on API changes.
