Yes, my concerns are about the performance of the version currently pegged in master. I've asked my colleagues about exactly which versions they are happy with and will follow up...

I'll report the most interesting results of my experiments here using homecart (bimanual) as a benchmark. I implemented a `SetInitialGuess(q)` which calls gurobi with constraints assigning the translation and rotation...

The goal is to rigorously analyze a diagram with subsystems that have this property/specification (esp planners).

Just to connect ideas: @ggould-tri has a ThreadedSystem in anzu that successfully uses a "mailbox" approach to synchronization between the main sim thread and the long-running computation thread. It's a...

Ping @rpoyner-tri .

fwiw -- if this were to land this week, then it would clean up the notebooks that will give students their first look at Drake in class next week. (not...

Here is the slightly simplified version of the example: ``` from pydrake.all import (MathematicalProgram, Variables, Solve) prog0 = MathematicalProgram() x = prog0.NewIndeterminates(1, 'x') y = prog0.NewIndeterminates(1, 'y') l_deg = 2...

fwiw, I just hit this again (I think), with the following reproduction: ``` import numpy as np from pydrake.all import MathematicalProgram, Variables, Solve prog = MathematicalProgram() # SOS indeterminates x...

My dev branch has a solution from @jwnimmer-tri that was partially working: https://github.com/RussTedrake/drake/tree/lab1 but it raised more complex questions about when these resources were available --- do they get installed,...

@EricCousineau-TRI -- fyi, this is related to the ycb object discussion. please connect to (or even close) this issue if/when you make progress?
