I am an Australian PhD researcher at the University of Queensland, and I use MuJoCo for my robotics research.
My setup
I currently use MuJoCo via the Python bindings.
My question
I'm trying to create a simple XML model of the gripper seen below.
I want the lower platform to be fixed in space, and the upper platform to be able to slide. Furthermore, I want the two platforms to be able to slide in sync when lifting up a gripped test object. Currently, I have enabled the upper platform to slide via a slide joint, and both platforms can slide in sync via a slide joint. I have damped both joints significantly to prevent the platforms from dropping to the ground due to gravity (ideally, I want them to remain fixed in space unless I actuate them).
My issue is this: If I run the model in the interactive GUI, the two platforms are allowed to penetrate: why (see the initial model configuration and the 'penetrating platforms' configuration below)? How can I prevent them from penetrating? Also, is there a nice method to stop my platforms from sliding due to gravity (but only slide via my motors/actuators) rather than via applying high damping to the slide joints?
Initial configuration:
Penetrating platforms:
Minimal model and/or code that explain my question
I have created a minimal XML file containing the two platforms seen in the attached gripper image, as well as a test object.
