📦 Installation and Configuration

Please refer to setup.md for installation and configuration steps.

🔁 Process Overview

The basic workflow for using reinforcement learning to achieve motion control is:

Train → Play → Sim2Sim → Sim2Real

• Train: Use the Gym simulation environment to let the robot interact with the environment and find a policy that maximizes the designed rewards. Real-time visualization during training is not recommended to avoid reduced efficiency.
• Play: Use the Play command to verify the trained policy and ensure it meets expectations.
• Sim2Sim: Deploy the Gym-trained policy to other simulators to ensure it’s not overly specific to Gym characteristics.
• Sim2Real: Deploy the policy to a physical robot to achieve motion control.

🛠️ User Guide

1. Training

Run the following command to start training:

python legged_gym/scripts/train.py --task=xxx

⚙️ Parameter Description

• --task: Required parameter; values can be (go2, g1, h1, h1_2).
• --headless: Defaults to starting with a graphical interface; set to true for headless mode (higher efficiency).
• --resume: Resume training from a checkpoint in the logs.
• --experiment_name: Name of the experiment to run/load.
• --run_name: Name of the run to execute/load.
• --load_run: Name of the run to load; defaults to the latest run.
• --checkpoint: Checkpoint number to load; defaults to the latest file.
• --num_envs: Number of environments for parallel training.
• --seed: Random seed.
• --max_iterations: Maximum number of training iterations.
• --sim_device: Simulation computation device; specify CPU as --sim_device=cpu.
• --rl_device: Reinforcement learning computation device; specify CPU as --rl_device=cpu.

Default Training Result Directory: logs/<experiment_name>/<date_time>_<run_name>/model_<iteration>.pt

2. Play

To visualize the training results in Gym, run the following command:

python legged_gym/scripts/play.py --task=xxx

Description:

• Play’s parameters are the same as Train’s.
• By default, it loads the latest model from the experiment folder’s last run.
• You can specify other models using load_run and checkpoint.

💾 Export Network

Play exports the Actor network, saving it in logs/{experiment_name}/exported/policies:

• Standard networks (MLP) are exported as policy_1.pt.
• RNN networks are exported as policy_lstm_1.pt.

Play Results

Go2	G1	H1	H1_2

3. Sim2Sim (Mujoco)

Run Sim2Sim in the Mujoco simulator:

python deploy/deploy_mujoco/deploy_mujoco.py {config_name}

Parameter Description

• config_name: Configuration file; default search path is deploy/deploy_mujoco/configs/.

Example: Running G1

python deploy/deploy_mujoco/deploy_mujoco.py g1.yaml

➡️ Replace Network Model

The default model is located at deploy/pre_train/{robot}/motion.pt; custom-trained models are saved in logs/g1/exported/policies/policy_lstm_1.pt. Update the policy_path in the YAML configuration file accordingly.

Simulation Results

G1	H1	H1_2

4. Sim2Real (Physical Deployment)

Before deploying to the physical robot, ensure it’s in debug mode. Detailed steps can be found in the Physical Deployment Guide:

python deploy/deploy_real/deploy_real.py {net_interface} {config_name}

Parameter Description

• net_interface: Network card name connected to the robot, e.g., enp3s0.
• config_name: Configuration file located in deploy/deploy_real/configs/, e.g., g1.yaml, h1.yaml, h1_2.yaml.

Deployment Results

G1	H1	H1_2
