Description

ADiGator (https://sourceforge.net/projects/adigator/) is free, open-source MATLAB software that computes vectorized gradients (and even Hessians) via automatic differentiation. It was developed by the author of GPOPS-II to make it easier to supply vectorized gradients and Hessians to GPOPS-II. Perhaps ADiGator could be integrated into OptimTraj so that OptimTraj can optionally use ADiGator to generate vectorized derivatives of the optimal control functions (e.g. dynamics, path objective, etc.). This would be very useful, as it is often very difficult to manually derive and implement vectorized gradients (and Hessians).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing OptimTraj's derivative interfaces and ADiGator's integration requirements, then determine the scope of optional vectorized derivative generation for dynamics, path objectives, and related functions; done would mean a defined, working integration with appropriate coverage.
