    Problem

    This paper aims to train control policies for legged robots (like humanoids) in rich, complex environments using Deep RL.

    Method

    The authors use PPO with LSTM-based neural networks, training policies in MuJoCo to navigate diverse terrains with obstacles and uneven surfaces.

    Finding

    The trained policies exhibited emergent behaviors like walking, running, jumping, and even leaping across various environments, demonstrating robust locomotion.

    Limitations

    Training is computationally expensive, and the resulting policies may not transfer perfectly to the real world (sim-to-real gap). High-speed computation is required.

    Practical application

    This approach has become the foundation for many humanoid locomotion projects. In the humanoid service robot project, it can be used to learn walking in diverse environments and maintain balance against disturbances.
