We introduce MuJoCo Playground, a fully open-source framework for robot learning built with MJX, with the express goal of streamlining simulation, training, and sim-to-real transfer onto robots. With a simple installation process, researchers can train policies in minutes on a single GPU. Playground…
The Model AI Assignments session seeks to gather and disseminate the best assignment designs of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Education community. Recognizing that assignments form the core of student learning experience, we here present abstracts of thirteen AI assignments from the 2025 session…
Surgical tasks such as tissue retraction, tissue exposure, and needle suturing remain challenging in autonomous surgical robotics. One challenge in these tasks is nonprehensile manipulation such as pushing tissue, pressing cloth, and needle threading. In this work, we isolate the problem of nonprehe
Autonomous surgical robotics is a growing area of research, with advances being made in the areas of vision and control. Central to this research is the need for simulations to facilitate data collection and simulate learning environments for Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents. Recent simulators hav…
