Ostrich: Taking Large Strides Through Stiff Contact in Differentiable Dynamics
Three properties determine whether a differentiable simulator can drive gradient-based optimization through contact: simulation accuracy, gradient reliability, and per-iteration cost. Tape-based engines such as MJX and Newton Semi-Implicit require timesteps small enough to keep contacts numerically tractable, and their...
