Introducing MuJoCo.jl: Julia bindings for DeepMind’s MuJoCo physics engine!

MuJoCo.jl contains a Julia wrapper for DeepMind’s general-purpose physics engine, MuJoCo. It allows users to simulate robotic systems, their controllers, and their interactions with surrounding environments, all in native Julia.

This wrapper aims to provide a simple, performant interface to the MuJoCo C library, allowing direct manipulation of the data used by the C engine for optimal performance.

The package also includes a fully-interactive visualiser, allowing the user to observe the response of MuJoCo models under passive or controlled dynamics, or to inspect saved motions as a trajectory to be replayed later.

Much of this project builds upon the work from Lyceum and their package Lyceum/MuJoCo.jl, along with their visualisation project Lyceum/LyceumMuJoCoViz.jl. We would like to thank the authors of these packages for their amazing work in originally bringing MuJoCo to Julia.

This work is joint effort between myself and @nic-barbara.

Check out the project on [GitHub](https://github.com/JamieMair/MuJoCo.jl) and the [documentation](https://jamiemair.github.io/MuJoCo.jl/dev) to get started!

Awesome news! It was my pleasure to work on this with you guys at JuliaCon (even though I only provided emotional support :D). Happy to see, that the hard work paid off!

Great !

I was using Lyceum’s work before MuJoCo opensourced it. Now Mujoco is completely opensourced and have Julia bindings updated !
