Constrained integration in scl spatial integrator

Issue #211 new
Samir Menon repo owner created an issue

Going to add a very preliminary implementation (somewhat inaccurate) to the scl_spatial integrator.

This only applies kinematic constraints purely at the integrator. As such, it assumes that there may be arbitrarily large internal forces in the articulated body system. If the controller applies those, however, there will be no motion along the constrained axes.

    Also, for now we assume that the constraint space doesn't change rapidly. (To avoid computing the time derivative of the null space).

    This should be fixed later.

    Finally, we'll assume that someone can provide the constraint Jacobian to the dynamics engine.
