Roboschool: open-source software for robot simulation

Related is NVIDIA&#x27;s recent announcement of their Isaac Robot Simulator:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=oa__wkSmWUw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=oa__wkSmWUw</a>

In addition to that great news, MuJoCo student licenses are now free: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mujoco.org&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mujoco.org&#x2F;index.html</a>

Interesting...<p>One robotics simulator that never seems to get any love is this one:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;assemblino.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;assemblino.com&#x2F;</a><p>Open source, browser-based, javascript, webgl, and can even control an Arduino version of your robot (via node); I&#x27;m not sure why it&#x27;s such an underdog, but I suspect it&#x27;s partially the name.<p>Note - a working github path is:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;omni360&#x2F;assemblino.js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;omni360&#x2F;assemblino.js</a><p>Not sure why the links are broken on the page - maybe this project is &quot;dead&quot; - but the source lives on I guess...

Good. Dynamic datasets for next gen AI. I think simulation is going to be essential for the AI of the future: physical 3D simulation, game simulation (like AlphaGo, which run MCMC) and ultimately, complex scene with multiple human and non-human agents (self driving cars, robots, chat bots). The era of ImageNet and static data is over.

&quot;This policy itself is still a multilayer perceptron, which has no internal state, so we believe that in some cases the agent uses its arms to store information.&quot; - That&#x27;s a pretty surprising result to me!

The videos seem to have strong control flavour. What&#x27;s the hook for AI researchers?

This is cool. I&#x27;ve been working on a quadrupedal robot. I wonder if some of these tools would help me visualize and develop gaits for the robot? It looks like they would.

Huge news, waiting for open source robot simulator for long. It&#x27;s so wonderful. However, the shadow and appearance are a little pale compared to MuJoCo.

Has anyone done a comparison of this, gazebo, v-rep and mujoco?

This is really cool, been looking for something like this

This looks AMAZING. 3D games will eventually use deep learning controllers on fully simulated physical forms, instead of animations. The future is going to be amazing.
