The PlaCo library handles kinematic loop closures 🔄 Frame attachments can be specified in a way compatible with URDF, and a relative position task maintains loop closure during motion. Plus, the documentation is very nice: https://placo.readthedocs.io/en/v0.9.17/kinematics/loop_closures.html

I'm adding a test set of differential IK problems to qpbenchmark: https://github.com/qpsolvers/ik_qpbenchmark

Seen at Humanoids 2024: a new open-source quadruped called MEVIUS. Designed for going outdoors, it is built with T-motor actuators and sheet-metal welded parts that can be ordered on-line. Looking forward to more of those!
