About the project

Reinforcement learning environments for the Microduck bipedal robot built on mjlab (MuJoCo Warp) with PPO: train walking and trick policies, export to ONNX, and deploy to the real robot.

Useful for

Train a Microduck walking policy with velocity tracking on GPU
Export a trained policy to ONNX for deployment on the real robot
Test a policy in simulation with keyboard control and CSV logging

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
