MuJoCo is a powerful physics engine that helps researchers and developers simulate complex movements and interactions, especially in robotics and machine learning. It provides fast and accurate simulations, which are crucial for understanding how objects move and interact with their environment. MuJoCo is beneficial because it allows users to create realistic models of multi-joint systems, compute both forward and inverse dynamics, and even handle contacts and constraints effectively. This makes it a valuable tool for those working in fields like robotics, biomechanics, and animation[1][2][5].

🔈Most Common Smart Speaker Usage
People are doing plenty of things with voice commands on their #SmartSpeakers, but shopping isn’t really one of them. Only about a quarter to a third of U.S. smart speaker owners have ever purchased something using voice. Very few do so on a regular basis. An Information article this summer said just 2 percent of #Alexa owners had made a purchase via Alexa in 2018.

🗣The State of Chinese Voice Assistants
China is the second-largest consumer market in the world, hitting $4.3T in consumer expenditure in 2016 alone (for reference, the US ranked first with $12.5T, and Japan third with $2.7T).
The Chinese smart home market will reach nearly $23B in 2018, according to Juniper Research. #SmartSpeakers and #AI voice assistants are becoming an integral part of that.
Now that smart speakers are becoming commonplace, the early entrant, #Amazon, is losing its market share — and not just to its rival #Google, but to newer players emerging in China.
