Open Dynamics Engine

The Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) is a software library used for simulating the physical interactions of objects, such as movement, collision, and forces, in virtual environments. It allows developers to create realistic behavior for objects in games, robots, or simulations by calculating how they respond to different forces and impacts. ODE models concepts like gravity, friction, and elasticity, enabling more immersive and accurate digital scenes without having to manually write complex physics calculations. It's widely used in robotics, gaming, and research to generate believable object dynamics efficiently.
