MuJoCo stands for Multi-Joint dynamics with Contact. It is a general purpose physics engine that aims to facilitate research and development in robotics, biomechanics, graphics and animation, machine learning, and other areas which demand fast and accurate simulation of articulated structures interacting with their environment. This repository is maintained by Google DeepMind. MuJoCo has a C API and is intended for researchers and developers. The runtime simulation module is tuned to maximize performance and operates on low-level data structures that are preallocated by the built-in XML compiler. The library includes interactive visualization in native desktop windows and web browsers. MuJoCo further exposes a large number of utility functions for computing physics-related quantities. We also provide [Python bindings] and a plug-in for the [Unity] game engine. MuJoCo's documentation can be found at [mujoco.readthedocs.io]. Upcoming features due for the next release can be found in the [changelog] in the "latest" branch. Visit…

Topics and intended use
Owner-supplied topics: mujoco, physics, robotics
Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
