This wiki page will have the updates of research related to the Darwin-op Door opening tasks.
Designing different types of doors in DRC-Simulator.
The following video shows different types of doors modeled on the DRC-Simulator, There are 3 types of doors here :
Each door has two types of mechanisms i.e. simple doors without friction and doors that close by themselves.
