Simulation	No simulation artifact confirmed in targeted search This records a searched-but-not-confirmed result. It does not mean simulation support is unavailable. Search checked 2026-09-27 Search result Targeted searches found no confirmed model for this record; does not mean unavailable. Only a PM01 Edu model was found; equivalence to this unsuffixed PM01 record was not established. Searched source 1	1 simulation artifact confirmed. Search checked 2026-09-27 Search result The official R1 repository path and MJCF format marker were checked; the model was not executed. The reviewed README did not list R1 in its simulator configurations, so compatibility remains unconfirmed.
