Update April 2023

• We are no longer actively developing Dojo, but pull requests are always welcome.
• We have updated or removed examples to account for changes since the initial version of Dojo.
• Additional developments on differentiable simulation:
  • Differentiable collision detection (Kevin Tracy): capsules, convex primitives
  • Single-level contact dynamics + collision detection (Simon Le Cleac'h): Silico

Examples

Simulation

Learning and Control

System Identification

Interfacing Other Packages

ReinforcementLearning.jl: DQN	ControlSystems.jl: LQR

Installation

Dojo can be added via the Julia package manager (type ]):

pkg> add Dojo

For convenience mechanisms and environments, add DojoEnvironments additionally:

pkg> add DojoEnvironments
