We present a formulation of rigid body dynamics with frictional contact that leverages ideas from discrete mechanics to derive time-stepping schemes with any desired order of integration accuracy. By utilizing the new time-stepping methods as dynamics constraints in a direct trajectory optimization scheme, we are able to perform contact-implicit trajectory optimization with accuracy equal to tr...
