It provides structs, constants, and enumerations for rigid-body dynamics, collision detection, and constraint solving. The package bundles the MuJoCo library itself, so no separate installation is needed. It depends on numpy, absl-py, etils, glfw, and pyopengl for rendering utilities.\n\nThe bindings are designed as a low-level interface rather than a high-level scene authoring API. They include utilities for setting up OpenGL rendering contexts (egl, glfw, osmesa subpackages) and are commonly used in robotics research, reinforcement learning, and physics-based simulation workflows. The package is actively maintained by DeepMind and kept synchronized with MuJoCo's latest developments.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a physics engine for robotics, reinforcement learning, or scientific simulation. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive Apache-2.0 license, and provides prebuilt wheels for common platforms. Medium install friction is typical for compiled bindings. Not necessary if you only need a higher-level scene API\u2014consider wrapper libraries instead."},"id":"mujoco","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mujoco","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mujoco.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mujoco/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-28","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mujoco","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"MuJoCo Physics Simulator"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3146959,"position":2729,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.11.0"}
