Example Script

Bare minimum to run MuJoCo simulation and display result

import mujoco_toolbox as mjtb

mjtb.Simulation("path/to/your/xml").run(render=True).save()

Controllers

Pre-Made Controllers

The following controllers are available out-of-the-box:

• sin
• cos
• step
• random
• real_time _{(recommended controller for digital twins)}

You can import them as follows:

import mujoco_toolbox.controllers as ctrl

Custom

def foo(model: MjModel, data: MjData,**kwargs):
    # Perform logic based on model/data objects
    # ie. PID Controller

Instantiating a Digital Twin

import mujoco_toolbox as mjtb
from mujoco_toolbox.controllers import real_time

with mjtb.Simulation("path/to/xml", controller=real_time) as digitaltwin:
    digitaltwin.launch(show_menu=False) # Open the simulation window
    while True:
        digitaltwin.controller(digitaltwin.model, digitaltwin.data, {"mjdata_kwargs": value})

See MjData objects here

File Support

XML / MJCF (Native)

import mujoco_toolbox as mjtb

mjtb.Simulation("path/to/xml").show()

URDF

import mujoco_toolbox as mjtb

mjtb.Simulation("path/to/urdf", meshdir="path/to/mesh/files").show()  # supports *.stl or *.obj

Merging Capabilities

Supports full <mujoco>...</mujoco> and <robot>...</robot> structure as well as complete sub-tree structures.

import mujoco_toolbox as mjtb

# Merges: XML & URDF Files, XML & URDF Strings, Sub Tree Structures
mjtb.Simulation("path/to/xml_1", string_xml_var, ..., "path/to/xml_n").show()

⚠️ WARNING
Duplicate sub-tree items with the same name will cause MuJoCo to throw a FatalError.
