The cassie_v2 version currently checked into dairlib
Notable differences include:
The Gazebo simulation uses <gearbox> elements in SDF, which (1) add extra mass and (2) create a transmission ratio. The associated Gazebo plugin, however, inverts the transmission ratio.
cassie_v2 is based originally on the Harvard model. Both neglect the plantar linkage. We currently treat the Achilles linkage as a massless distance constraint. The effect of the removed masses should be better compensated for.
Ultimately, we just need to look over these models, understand any differences, and settle on a URDF/SDF to use.
There are currently multiple Cassie models with slightly different parameters.
