Ciro Santilli E.g. the Everyday Robots robot.
Not going to lie, this is some cool shit, robot simulation and 3D visualization in the browser.

Looks cool. That's what 1k USD gets you.
By Dr. Hirotaka Sato from Nanyang Technological University Singapore.
It is a bit rough, but kind of works. Flight control is only left or right though, they don't stimulate the wings directly.

Looks cool! Ciro Santilli loves simulations!
TRI means Toyota Research Institute BTW.
The Robotics team at TRI is working hard to close the gap between simulation and reality. For manipulation, one important piece is accurate simulation of rigid-body contact.
