PROFILE
Andrew Morell
Over three months, Andrew Morrell enhanced the AVSLab/basilisk simulation platform by developing advanced features for dynamic control and constrained dynamics analysis. He implemented modular effector architectures, enabling dynamic effectors to attach to spinning bodies and support multi-parent branching, which improved modeling fidelity and flexibility. Using C++ and Python, Andrew refactored state and property linking, integrated external force models, and expanded visualization and kinematic profiling capabilities. He also contributed to technical documentation and resolved a critical data capture regression. His work demonstrated depth in simulation development, object-oriented programming, and software testing, resulting in a more robust and extensible simulation environment.

Sep 1, 2025In September 2025, AVSLab/basilisk delivered key simulation enhancements that enable richer, more flexible experiments and streamline integration of external forces. The team introduced multi-parent attachment for constrain-based effectors, enabling branching configurations and complex attachments, and extended ExtForceTorque to attach to state effectors, increasing integration options for external dynamics. These changes include refactoring state and property linking to support multi-parent scenarios and added integrated tests to ensure reliability across scenarios. Together, these improvements improve modeling fidelity, reuse, and scalability for researchers and developers, while maintaining strong test coverage and maintainable design.
