Brom Version 0.4.3-1 is out!
We've formalized a feature that we've been using to develop tests in Drake: the Puppetmaker.
This feature allows you to freely move an object around the scene (like a Puppet). (1/2)

Glad to see these protected bike lanes going up around Summit & Pavonia in Jersey City. The city becomes easier and easier to ride my bike in every day. 😊 #ISeeYouJC

Brom Version 0.4.1 is out!
This time, we added features for helping with the "objects slipping out of hands" problem.
If you're familiar with how robotics simulators work, this is a problem of how most simulators handle collision geometries (i.e., they use convex hulls). (1/2)

Second, the drakeify_my_urdf function.
Importing a URDF that you've downloaded from the internet into Drake can sometimes be a pain. There are often multiple manual passes you have to make over it. This function aims to help with that.
Call this function and it should spit out a compatible URDF.

First, the DiagramWatcher object.
For those of you that know Drake as the "Simulink of Robotics", you may know that most Drake simulations are just block diagrams. Debugging block diagrams can be tedious, but not if you use the Watcher! It will automatically log data from ports in your diagram.

brom_drake updates/recap (since I haven't posted about it on this platform yet):
Brom 0.3.0 now includes:
- the DiagramWatcher object,
- the drakeify_my_urdf function, and
- brom_drake Production objects.
Which we think will combine to make using Drake simpler and more fun!
