Researcher

Erik Frey

Erik Frey coauthored MuJoCo Playground. MuJoCo Playground is an open-source framework for simulation, policy training and transfer to physical robots. It combines MJX physics, a batch renderer and training environments. The team demonstrated tasks for quadrupeds, humanoids, hands and arms, including transfer from state and pixel observations. This is a shared software and research contribution. Frey created the first version of the ALOHA task and contributed to early Madrona-MJX work. The MuJoCo Playground team, including Erik Frey, received the RSS 2025 Outstanding Demo Paper Award.
