Hi all:

I would like to propose the inclusion of a new robotics package, Simbody.

* Web: https://simtk.org/home/simbody/
* Project description: Simbody is a SimTK toolset providing general
multibody dynamics capability, that is, the ability to solve Newton's
2nd law F=ma in any set of generalized coordinates subject to arbitrary
constraints. Simbody is provided as an open source, object-oriented C++
API and delivers high-performance, accuracy-controlled
science/engineering-quality results.

Upstream is very kind and responsive and is always open to suggestions
about how to improve the management of the project. They are quite happy
about having the project into debian:
- https://github.com/simbody/simbody/issues/49

The package is in our git repository[1] but has a couple of lintian
error/warning, I sent a mail[2] on Friday about this. Feedback is very
welcome.

As usual, the blends patch for robotics:
