Ball on turntable - simulation

Simulation using MuJoCo

mujoco_ball_on_turntable.mp4

There are three simulations

1) Ball at steady state

The ball tangential velocity matches the turntable velocity at the point of contact. The ball approximately stays exactly on the same spot.

2) Ball in orbit around steady state location

(For video, see top of this page.)

3) Many balls, sharing the same orbit (approximately)
