- Good examples of C++ source code for math oriented software development?
- How to do position control of an elastic robot arm?
- Which is the best way to work with matrices and linear algebra using c++?
- I want to build a bipedal robot. Are there any open source libraries to handle walking and balancing?

Help! After adding a chest (incl battery and two servos for the shoulders) my humanoid Kayra the same gait pattern doesn't work anymore. Here's a video contrasting with vs without chest. What are the top five improvements you'd suggest?
Open-loop walking + physics: (e.g. ZMP-based) one thing you can do (that does not imply adding an IMU to Kayra and going for feedback) is include some walking physics into your walking trajectory generation. To give you an idea, I've written a tutorial on doing that in Python a couple of years ago. The libraries in this tutorial are deprecated now, but I'm working on an equivalent stack at github.com/tasts-robots using more durable software like pinocchio. The libs are still WIP but if you are interested in exploring that dev path (i.e. making a ZMP-based trajectory generator for Kayra) I can support you and help adapt them (because I want that SW to be useful for a maximum number of people).
- What type of software is widely used for robotics in industry?
- I have a robot model in URDF (running in pybullet). Are there easy tools to get the forward/inverse kinematics, and especially use that to plug it into a LQR controller?
-
What software can I use to play around with articulated robots?
Drake and Pinocchio both use the Python interface to Meshcat as an option for visualizing robots, and they can both do the forward kinematics and have visualizer components that place the visual meshes properly relative to the computed frames, but both of those are full-fledged and complex kinematics and dynamics libraries for contact-rich interaction (and more), so the API calls to get a model set up are doing a lot more than providing a visual model you can feed joint angles to.

Improving the walking trajectory: from what I gather from servoControl.json your walking trajectory doesn't take physics into account, which is totally fine. Small bipedal walkers can walk fully open loop, that is for instance what most teams in the Humanoid League Kid-Size of the RoboCup are doing.
- My open source humanoid Kayra trying out different stands at neck breaking speed!

HOT OFF the 3D printer: Kayra, my open-source humanoid robot, now with two legs and a connecting hip! Will shift CAD design to servo-controller programming now.

Major achievement at my own source humanoid project Kayra! Right leg designed up to the hip! Four servos for left/right and up/down movements.
Thanks, it's open source. STL and design files here: https://github.com/assadollahi/kayra
