RL training environments for Microduck — a 800 g, 25 cm tall bipedal robot — built on mjlab (MuJoCo Warp) with PPO. Policies are trained here at 50 Hz, exported to ONNX, and deployed on the real robot by the runtime in pollen-robotics/microduck. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/50c3d537-8db2-4005-9d9c-3472faeec4d0 The repo encodes the full sim2real recipe: BAM actuator physics, domain randomization, backlash simulation, and the reward-design lessons that made it work (see AGENTS.md for the distilled playbook). Requires a CUDA GPU (training runs through MuJoCo Warp) and uv. Resume from a checkpoint: No GPU? Add --hf-jobs to any train command to run it on Hugging Face Jobs instead of locally (see scripts/hf/README.md). uv run list-envs prints the live registry. Flat/Rough variants exist where noted. At deployment the runtime hot-swaps these policies (walk / recover / trick) behind a shared 61-dimensional observation contract, so any of them can take over the robot at any moment. scripts/inferpolicy.py…

Topics and intended use
No topics were included in the latest source metadata.
Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
