MuJoCo Unleashed: Realistic Physics for Robots, Biomechanics, and Animation

We dive into MuJoCo (Multi-Joint Dynamics with Contact), the high‑fidelity physics engine that’s reshaping how researchers simulate motion, collisions, and control. From robotics and biomechanics to lifelike animation and machine learning, we’ll unpack its core ideas—generalized coordinates, advanced contact dynamics, and the building blocks like bodies, geoms, joints, sites, actuators, and sensors—and show how MuJoCo serves as a virtual proving ground for design, testing, and learning. Tune in as we explore the GitHub hello‑world example and official docs to see why this tool is changing the game.
