Brax's Simulator Engine Swap

Open scott-yj-yang opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

We've been impressed with Brax's support for the MJX engine and its efficiency in simulation and computation. However, due to the MJX engine's current development status and some feature limitations, we'd like to temporarily switch back to the CPU-based MuJoCo engine to take advantage of its full feature set.

Our computational pipeline is currently built around Brax and Jax's NN Linen. We understand that Brax is designed as a differentiable physics engine, and we're hoping there's a straightforward way to swap out the underlying simulator from MJX to CPU MuJoCo without significant rework.

Any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this transition smoothly would be greatly appreciated.

Scott
