Drake - A Novel System Modeling Language
1:37:04 - 1:51:23 (14:19)
Drake is a modeling language for complex systems that requires a little more description about the system than traditional simulators. It is not just a simulator, but a platform where controllers, perception systems, low-level control and even planning and optimization can be written.

The application of generalizations of linear algebra to smooth systems, such as airplanes and spacecraft landings, allows for the study of these complex systems with continuous changes in a linear manner, with small changes in command only altering the path of the system slightly.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the physics behind a four-legged table staying in place and how friction plays a role in the forces acting upon the legs.
1:39:26 - 1:42:48 (03:21)
Summary
In this episode, the hosts discuss the physics behind a four-legged table staying in place and how friction plays a role in the forces acting upon the legs. They also explore the concept of conservation laws and how they relate to the stability of a table.
