robosuite: A Modular Simulation Framework and Benchmark for Robot Learning

Zhu, Yuke, Wong, Josiah, Mandlekar, Ajay et al.

Understand

robosuite is a simulation framework for robot learning powered by the MuJoCo physics engine.

It offers a modular design for creating robotic tasks as well as a suite of benchmark environments for reproducible research.
This paper discusses the key system modules and the benchmark environments of our new release robosuite v1.5.
