AISummary of 1 article

Google DeepMind has released MuJoCo 4.0 and MuJoCo Playground 1.0, according to Paige Bailey's post on X. The release adds a zero-install web viewer and Filament PBR rendering with hot-reload in MuJoCo Studio.

Bailey says it also adds speculative contacts that make thin-object grasping 6–9x faster, and end-to-end sim-to-real with PyTorch and MuJoCo Warp in Playground 1.0.

Bailey credits Google DeepMind's robotics sim team and more than 45 open-source contributors for about 2K commits. The post gives the install command pip install -U mujoco. The 6–9x speed figure is Bailey's claim and is not supported by a benchmark in the report.
