Lodos-v2: An Efficient Primal Formulation of the Exact Frictional Contact Problem
Overview
This paper introduces Lodos-v2, a GPU-based simulation framework designed for high-throughput rigid-body dynamics with contact. It resolves limitations in its predecessor, Lodos-v1, by solving the exact frictional contact problem through sequential convex relaxations in primal form and extending the contact-group reparameterization scheme to integrate with full simulator constraints like joint limits. Experiments show improved throughput over established frameworks, with source code available on GitHub.

“arXiv:2611.08868v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lodos-v2 is a GPU-based simulation framework for massively parallel rigid-body dynamics with contact. It is specifically designed to achieve high throughput in scenes involving collisions among large numbers of detailed meshes. Its predecessor, Lodos-v1, had two main limitations. First, it solved the standard convex relaxation of cone-complementarity-based contact dynam”
