Hi there, I want to rotate a primitive shape, a p.GEOM_BOX, about its end, instead of about its center of mass. A very simple standalone chunk of code is here https://github.com/MachineLearningLab-AI/PyBullet-Hand-Example/blob/master/finger_demo.py Pressing 6 or 7 on your keyboard attempts to rotate...

Erwin, thanks for the reply. I went ahead and removed the changeDynamics call, and that indeed gets rid of the bouncing off to infinity. However, it introduces a new issue. When moving the hand down below the X-Y plane, the wrist rotates to the vertical position. How can I uncouple the rotation of t...

Folks, I realized my original code may have been unclear, due to the presence of the ahead_view() and down_view() functions, as well as the fact I was using gist - which is probably the worst medium for this problem. I've created a separate git repo with all the required files https://github.com/Mac...

Hey folks, I'm trying to use a simple robotic hand in an open environment to interact with a pyramid shaped object. Everything seems to be mostly working, however the hand can bounce off to infinity under certain circumstances. I suspect this is to be expected for an expert, but I'm new to the engin...
