Roboschool is an open-source robot simulation library providing physics-based Gym environments for reinforcement learning research, including locomotion tasks like Humanoid, Hopper, and HalfCheetah. It is officially deprecated and archived, with OpenAI recommending PyBullet as the replacement.

Use cases

• train reinforcement learning agents on robot locomotion tasks
• simulate humanoid and quadruped robots with OpenAI Gym
• replicate MuJoCo environments without a license
• benchmark RL policies on classic control tasks like inverted pendulum
• run multiplayer robot environments for research

When to choose

• studying or reproducing historical OpenAI RL research that used Roboschool
• you need the exact legacy environments for comparison

When to avoid

• starting any new robotics or RL simulation project
• you need maintained software or bug fixes
• you want modern physics simulation features - use PyBullet instead
