Roboschool
We are releasing Roboschool: open-source software for robot simulation, integrated with OpenAI Gym.
Faster physics in Python
We’re open-sourcing a high-performance Python library for robotic simulation using the MuJoCo engine, developed over our past year of robotics research.

Generalizing from simulation
Our latest robotics techniques allow robot controllers, trained entirely in simulation and deployed on physical robots, to react to unplanned changes in the environment as they solve simple tasks. That is, we’ve used these techniques to build closed-loop systems rather than open-loop ones as before.
