From the README
MuJoCo stands for Multi-Joint dynamics with Contact. It is a general purpose physics engine that aims to facilitate research and development in robotics, biomechanics, graphics and animation, machine learning, and other areas which demand fast and accurate simulation of articulated structures interacting with their environment.
This repository is maintained by Google DeepMind.
MuJoCo has a C API and is intended for researchers and developers. The runtime simulation module is tuned to maximize performance and operates on low-level data structures that are preallocated by the built-in XML compiler. The library includes interactive visualization in native desktop windows and web browsers. MuJoCo further exposes a large number of utility functions for computing physics-related quantities.
We also provide Python bindings and a plug-in for the Unity game engine.
MuJoCo's documentation can be found at mujoco.readthedocs.io. Upcoming features due for the next release can be found in the changelog in the "latest" branch.
