"MUlti-JOint dynamics with COntact"

Features

• DeepMind acquired MuJoCo, a general-purpose physics engine, and made it freely available to all researchers
  • C/C++ library
• Currently only API binaries are distributed, with open-sourcing planned for next year
• Many simulators are built for games/movies and prioritize stability over accuracy, but MuJoCo is more realistic
  • A second-order (Second-Order) continuous-time simulator that implements the full equations of motion (Equations of Motion)
