Using Open Source MuJuCo in Gym

[jkterry1]

Hey,

I'm the new maintainer of Gym (I'm a PhD student at UMD, I have no formal affiliation with OpenAI). As you may know, Gym has been using MuJuCo for a long time in it's MuJuCo and Robotics environments, and was in the process of replacing these in full with Brax (originally PyBullet, but plans changed) due to MuJuCo's status as closed source and a host of massive maintenance issues with the MuJuCo environments and mujuco-py. Are you guys interested in Gym support, and if so would you be willing to reach out to me to set up a time to briefly chat about plans? My email is [email protected]

It seems that there is already a PR for mujoco_py to support this version of mujoco:
openai/mujoco-py#640

Thanks for looking after this important resource for the community, and thanks for reaching out.

As a short term answer, you may be interested in the PR ikostrikov posted. As for supporting Gym long term, we should absolutely talk. We’ll reach out personally.

Once we’ve chatted and have a better idea of a plan, we’ll post it here.

mujoco-py is no longer maintained

Sorry to hijack this after closure.

@jkterry1 could you point to an announcement regarding mujoco_py no longer being maintained? There have been 3 commits since your last comment.
Finally, where can we learn more about your exchanges with the MuJoCo team and possible roadmap?

Thanks
