The physics engine I'm using is called MuJoCo. And if you're wondering why I didn't write my own physics engine, it's basically because I don't have 20 years.
We are using MuJoCo to train a G1 humanoid robot right now. The best thing is that we do not need to fight with NVIDIA software and that it runs on macOS.
This makes me so happy and excited! Often my mind wanders into the unknown, imagining what would happy to X if it did this? Would it have friction, etc?
I am looking forward to a way I can easily describe a scenario and have an LLM build a legitimate simulation for it. No more hypothetical talk! Next best thing to actual experimentation (can be a useful tool in convincing others to join you/support you in said real experiment - “see? I tested it in a simulation and it behaves exactly that way! We need to try this..”).
Not sure why this is hitting the home page right now but people may also be interested in Mujoco Playground [1] which is the latest RL environment wrapper of mujoco, implementing both classic deepmind-control benchmarks, and some very new interesting ones!
While we have people's attention here, we're also working on an official browser-based interactive viewer that allows people to specify a URL to their own model and share a link.

PS: I just finished a first draft for agentic skills around working with MuJoCo in Python. Feel free to check them out here: https://github.com/prathje/agentic_mujoco_skills

Very early experimental prototype at the moment, doesn't work super well on phones yet, but you can try it at https://saran-t.github.io/mujoco/?model=https://raw.githubus...
It'll be relocated to live.mujoco.org over the next few days.
