#2The videos seem to have strong control flavour. What's the hook for AI researchers?

#3This is cool. I've been working on a quadrupedal robot. I wonder if some of these tools would help me visualize and develop gaits for the robot? It looks like they would.

#4In addition to that great news, MuJoCo student licenses are now free: http://www.mujoco.org/index.html

Gait control is widely recognized as on-topic in AI robotics circles.
There are sessions on this topic at the main conferences, for example.

These environments are often used as a testbed for reinforcement learning, e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.05477

You could also try out pybullet, the official Python bindings for Bullet Physics which uses the same underpinnings as Roboschool: pip install pybullet and you are up and running, quickstart guide is at http://pybullet.org. It has a Minitaur quadruped robot as one of the examples.

#9Huge news, waiting for open source robot simulator for long. It's so wonderful.
However, the shadow and appearance are a little pale compared to MuJoCo.

#10Good. Dynamic datasets for next gen AI. I think simulation is going to be essential for the AI of the future: physical 3D simulation, game simulation (like AlphaGo, which run MCMC) and ultimately, complex scene with multiple human and non-human agents (self driving cars, robots, chat bots). The era of ImageNet and static data is over.
