MuJoCo MPC: An Interactive Application and Software Framework for Real-Time Predictive Control
Predictive Sampling: Real-time Behaviour Synthesis with MuJoCo
We introduce an open-source, interactive application and software framework for real-time predictive control, based on mujoco physics.
The framework allows the user to easily author and solve complex robotics tasks, and currently supports three shooting-based planners: derivative-based ilqg and gradient descent, and a simple derivative-free method we call predictivesampling.
Predictive sampling was designed as an elementary baseline, mostly for its pedagogical value, but turned out to be surprisingly competitive with the more established algorithms.
