Interactive Demonstrations

Visualizing concepts in Computational Geometric Mechanics, Numerical Integration, and Geometric Control Theory.

Kepler Planetary Orbit

Observe the critical difference between standard numerical methods and geometric integrators. Watch Explicit Euler quickly spiral out of control while Symplectic Euler preserves orbital energy and bounds error indefinitely.

Chaotic Dynamics & Implicit Solvers

The double pendulum has a non-separable Hamiltonian. Compare the energy drift of explicit methods against an Implicit Midpoint integrator utilizing a real-time nonlinear Newton-Raphson solver.

Quadrotor Tracking

Visualize nonlinear robust tracking control. Command a planar drone with your mouse or watch it track a complex Figure-8 trajectory.
