In case you missed the announcement from DeepMind on 18 October 2021: Opening up a physics simulator for robotics
The rich-yet-efficient contact model of the MuJoCo physics simulator has made it a leading choice by robotics researchers and today, we’re proud to announce that, as part of DeepMind’s mission of advancing science, we’ve acquired MuJoCo and are making it freely available for everyone, to support research everywhere. Already widely used within the robotics community, including as the physics simulator of choice for DeepMind’s robotics team, MuJoCo features a rich contact model, powerful scene description language, and a well-designed API. Together with the community, we will continue to improve MuJoCo as open-source software under a permissive licence. As we work to prepare the codebase, we are making MuJoCo freely available as a precompiled library.
MuJoCo in DeepMind. Our robotics team has been using MuJoCo as a simulation platform for various projects, mostly via our dm_control Python stack. In the carousel below, we highlight a few examples to showcase what can be simulated in MuJoCo. Of course, these clips represent only a tiny fraction of the vast possibilities for how researchers might use the simulator. For higher quality versions of these clips, please click here.
