Google DeepMind releases MuJoCo 4.0 and MuJoCo Playground 1.0 for robotics simulation

AIPaige Bailey says MuJoCo 4.0 and MuJoCo Playground 1.0 are now available, adding a zero-install web viewer and Filament PBR rendering with hot-reload in MuJoCo Studio. The release also adds speculative contacts that the post says make thin-object grasping 6–9x faster, and end-to-end sim-to-real with PyTorch and MuJoCo Warp in Playground 1.0.

The post lists concrete changes in MuJoCo 4.0 and Playground 1.0, including faster thin-object grasping and sim-to-real support, useful for robotics developers weighing an upgrade.

robotics simulation just leveled up massively. MuJoCo 4.0 + MuJoCo Playground 1.0 are here! 🤖⚡

🔘 Zero-install web viewer (http://live.mujoco.org) + Filament PBR and hot-reload in MuJoCo Studio
🔘 Clay that dents, paper that creases, and cloth that never clips
🔘 Speculative contacts (6–9x faster thin-object grasping!)
🔘 @PyTorch + MuJoCo Warp end-to-end sim-to-real in Playground 1.0

Huge congrats to @GoogleDeepMind's robotics sim team & the 45+ open-source contributors who shipped ~2K commits to make this happen!

pip install -U mujoco ✨
