️ Mithi's Hexapod Robot Simulator

A bare minimum browser-based hexapod robot simulator built from first principles ️
If you like this project, consider buying me a few :coffee: cups of coffee . :two_hearts:

STATUS	FEATURE	DESCRIPTION
:tada:	Forward Kinematics	Given the angles of each joint, what does the robot look like?
:tada:	Inverse Kinematics	What are the angles of each joint to make the robot look the way I want? Is it even possible? Why or why not?
:tada:	Uniform Movements	If all of the legs behaved the same way, how will the hexapod robot as a whole behave?
:tada:	Customizability	Set the dimensions and shape of the robot's body and legs. (6 parameters)
:tada:	Usability	Control the camera view, pan, tilt, zoom, whatever.
:tada:	Simplicity	Minimal dependencies. Depends solely on Numpy for calculations. Uses only Plotly Dash for plotting, Dash can be safely replaced if a better 3d plotting library is available.
:exclamation:	Stability Check (WIP)	If we pose the robot in a particular way, will it fall over?
:exclamation:	Fast	Okay, it's not as fast as I wanted, but when run locally, it's okay
:exclamation:	Bug-free	Fine, right now there's still room for improvement
:exclamation:	Well-tested	Yeah, I need to compile test cases first

️ Notes

:exclamation: Now live on https://hexapod-robot-simulator.herokuapp.com ! BUT (and a big one) I highly suggest that you run it locally. When run locally, it's pretty speedy! On the other hand, the link above is barely usable. Might convert this to to be a fully client-side Javascript app later, maybe?
:exclamation: This implementation uses matrices, NOT quaternions. I'm aware that quaternions is far superior in every single way. In the (un)forseeable future, maybe?
:exclamation: Frankly, My IK algorithm isn't all that great, it's just something I came up with based on what I remember back in college plus browsing through the Mathematics Stack Exchange . It might not be the best, but it's the most intuitive that I can think of. If you want something closer to the state-of-the-art, maybe checkout Unity's Fast IK or ROS IKFast .
I believe that the idea that it's best to be kind to one another shouldn't be controversial. And I shouldn't be afraid to say that.

数字民主的迷思

[美] 马修·辛德曼 / 唐杰 / 中国政法大学出版社 / 2015-12-25 / CNY 39.00

马修·辛德曼著的《数字民主的迷思》主要讨论互联网对美国政治的影响，聚焦的是“民主化”这一课题。针对公众关于网络民主的美好想象与过分狂热，它通过对在线竞选、链接结构、流量模式、搜索引擎使用、博客与博主、内容生产的“规模经济”等主题的深入处理，借助大量数据图表与分析，勾勒出互联网政治的种种局限性。尤其表明，网络政治信息仍然为一小群精英与机构所创造和过滤，在网络的每一个层次和领域都仍然遵循着“赢家通吃”......一起来看看《数字民主的迷思》这本书的介绍吧!
