Hi, I'm trying to make a realistic model for my robot on MuJoCo. My robot is tendon-driven with compliant tendons, and of course there is substantial backlash in the tendon-level. Currently, I see that there's a way to model backlash at the joint-level by defining a virtual joint in addition to the actual joint that sort of adds discontinuity in the joint movement, but if I implement that in my model, it does not model the backlash correctly because mine is in tendon-level. So I was wondering if there is any trick that can be done for tendon-level backlash that is similar to adding a virtual joint. Thank you so much!
I also found that this example does not really model backlash from the actuator side. If I perturb the joint with an external force, backlash seems to be working, not affecting the actuator. But if I move the actuator, although it shouldn't move the joint due to the backlash, the joint follows the actuator movement right away. Perhaps I'm missing something here. Could someone help?
