Drake is being used to teach Underactuated Robotics at MIT. The course textbook has numerous examples of modeling, controlling, and analyzing many of the canonical problems in dynamics and control for robotics.
The Robotics team at TRI is working hard to close the gap between simulation and reality. For manipulation, one important piece is accurate simulation of rigid-body contact.

Drake is being used to teach a new course on manipulation at MIT. The course software and materials give a complete autonomous manipulation pipeline, including deep and geometric perception, planning, and control. Here is a highlight video of the class "manipulation station" (the three views are rendered from the RGB-D cameras mounted on the station):

Michael Posa and the UPenn DAIR lab have an implementation of DIRCON, as described in
Michael Posa, Scott Kuindersma, Russ Tedrake. "Optimization and Stabilization of Trajectories for Constrained Dynamical Systems." ICRA, 2016.

Drake aims to have a wide suite of simulated sensors. As these tools expand, we'll include video highlighting their functionality.
This video is a sneak preview of an RGB sensor model using an advanced illumination model provided by OSPRay. This video was created by inserting a virtual RGB camera into the simulation (at an arbitrary fixed position in the simulation's world frame) of the controlled Kuka arm. The material properties are simple to highlight the impact of the lighting model. (October 2018)
Caelan Garrett has examples using Drake in his STRIPStream/PDDLStream task-and-motion-planning framework.

Greg Izatt put together a nice tutorial demonstrating how to put together a pretty complete simulation of kuka iiwa picking up a block with dynamics, planning, control, and depth sensing, all through the pydrake interface.

Zhaoyuan Gu learned Drake from scratch as a 2019 TRI summer intern and wrote this beginner's tutorial: https://drake.guzhaoyuan.com
