Meta open-sources SuperDex physics engine with Mochi solver coupling rigid, cloth, soft-body and rod dynamics

Eden author Kashu Yamazaki thanks Meta's Project Superdex for open-sourcing the original Mochi implementation, and shows integrated demos: beyond rigid bodies, every Genesis solver plus the custom Mochi solver couples rigid, cloth, soft-body, and rod dynamics in one solver. Demos include two arms folding a towel, a trained policy wiping a bar with a foam sponge, cable routing into a port, and a G1 humanoid filling a glass at the tap.
SuperDex is Meta's (facebookresearch) unified simulation platform (Apache-2.0, 837 GitHub stars) combining a purpose-built physics engine, robotics authoring tools, a scalable RL interface, and VR-based teleoperation.
