[ODE] Physics Engines comparisons and benchmarks

[Antonio_Martini@scee.net]

if you want to simulate a realistic robot with related controllers i think 
you would need a stiff solver for constraints/motors and i have the 
impression that only ODE is providing one at the moment. Do you need to 
model the velocity dependent forces(coriolis etc..)? if so i get the 
feeling that Bullet and other engines are excluding those terms in favour 
of stability. Ultimately it depends on your specific application and on 
the level of accuracy required. 

you may find the following link(where ODE has been used) interesting:

thank you.. 
I know that paper.. I would prefer a test suite
