Meta has released SuperDex, a new robotics simulator with the following highlights:
- Technical Specs: Built in C++ with a "contact-first" approach designed for smooth, mixed rigid–soft physics. It deliberately trades parallelism and raw speed for richer contact modeling capabilities.
- Ecosystem: Includes a full suite of tools such as RL/gym environments, a GUI authoring tool, and VR teleoperation support.
- Compatibility: Runs smoothly on macOS.
