Where can linearized dynamics be trusted w/contact?

MIT's "Contact Trust Region" answers this using manipulation theory, differentiable simulation & control. It enables manipulation w/less compute than RL, powering robots to be more energy-efficient: https://t.co/i0Uza8QveU pic.twitter.com/7kaueisigy
