  • tiny-differentiable-simulator

    Tiny Differentiable Simulator is a header-only C++ and CUDA physics library for reinforcement learning and robotics with zero dependencies.

  • Drake (and also tiny-differentiable-simulator that I know of) are using meshcat and it seems neat to me

  • meshcat-python

    WebGL-based 3D visualizer for Python

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • meshcat

    Remotely-controllable 3D viewer, built on top of three.js

  • Klampt

    Kris' Locomotion and Manipulation Planning Toolkit

  • There are a bunch of kinematic simulation tools built in Python. Klampt is one I've used that has good documentation. It does have the ability to make a rendering of your robot moving while doing forward/inverse kinematics.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
