libdart-collision-ode-dev 6.9.2-3build1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu groovy

 DART is a collaborative, cross-platform, open source library created by
 the Georgia Tech Graphics Lab and Humanoid Robotics Lab. The library
 provides data structures and algorithms for kinematic and dynamic
 applications in robotics and computer animation. DART is distinguished
 by it's accuracy and stability due to its use of generalized coordinates
 to represent articulated rigid body systems and computation of
 Lagrange's equations derived from D.Alembert's principle to describe the
 dynamics of motion. For developers, in contrast to many popular physics
 engines which view the simulator as a black box, DART gives full access
 to internal kinematic and dynamic quantities, such as the mass matrix,
 Coriolis and centrifugal forces, transformation matrices and their
 derivatives. DART also provides efficient computation of Jacobian
 matrices for arbitrary body points and coordinate frames. Contact and
 collision are handled using an implicit time-stepping, velocity-based
 LCP (linear-complementarity problem) to guarantee non-penetration,
 directional friction, and approximated Coulomb friction cone conditions.
 For collision detection, DART uses FCL developed by Willow Garage and
 the UNC Gamma Lab. DART has applications in robotics and computer
 animation because it features a multibody dynamic simulator and tools
 for control and motion planning. Multibody dynamic simulation in DART is
 an extension of RTQL8, an open source software created by the Georgia
 Tech Graphics Lab. This package contains the collision ode headers and
 other tools for development.
