Not going to lie, this is some cool shit, robot simulation and 3D visualization in the browser.

It is a bit rough, but kind of works. Flight control is only left or right though, they don't stimulate the wings directly.

\Q[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.]
