Ch. 1 - Introduction - Robotic Manipulation
In the previous exercise, you manually set up a simulation by creating a DiagramBuilder, adding a MultibodyPlant and SceneGraph, loading robots, and wiring everything together. In this exercise, you will learn to use HardwareStation and model directives specified in YAML configuration file
Before you start
- Basic Python familiarity
- Comfort with algebra or calculus basics
- Interest in robotics systems
