Drake: An open-source toolkit for optimizing robot dynamics

Drake, an open-source toolbox first hatched by the Robot Locomotion Group in MIT CSAIL, has taken flight with support from CSAIL Professor Russ Tedrake and the Toyota Research Institute. Prof. Tedrake explains how Drake’s core development as a toolkit for optimizing robot dynamics and control systems will have a broad impact in the community as robots move toward performing at scale in real-world environments.
