We continue setting up OpenAI-Gym to make a Hopper robot learn in Gazebo simulator, using ROS Development Studio.
If you didn’t follow the previous post, here are the links:
[ROS Projects] Create a Hopper Robot in Gazebo Step-by-Step
[ROS Projects] OpenAI with Hopper Robot in Gazebo Step-by-Step
Got a suggestion for the next steps to take of this project? We would love to hear them in the comments bellow :).
Part 2
Step 1. Environment setup
We’ll start by explaining how to create the gym environment for training. You can create a file called monoped_env.py under the my_hopper_training/src directory with the following content
#!/usr/bin/env python

This script creates the gym environment with the following parts:
1.Register the training environment
You will always need to do this step to inform the gym package that a new training environment is created.
2.Load the desired pose
Parameters related to the training is loaded at this step.
3.Connect with the gazebo
In order to connect the gym environment with gazebo simulation, we create a script called gazebo_connection.py in the same directory with the following content

This script is responsible to reset, pause and unpause the simulation for the training script.
4.Connect with the controller
Since TF doesn’t like that we reset the environment and it will generate some problems. We have to manually reset the controller with the controller_connection.py script. We won’t go into detail here. If you want to learn more about the controller, please check our controller 101 course.

Setup the environment back to its initial observation. This includes the steps like pause the simulation, reset the controller and etc. as we described before.

Step 2. Training
Now you have all the code you need to start training. Let’s run the simulation first. Go to Simulations -> Select launch file -> my_legged_robot_sims->main.launch to launch the hopper robot simulation in Gazebo.
Then you can run the training with
roslaunch my_hopper_training main.launch
The algorithm is working and start to train the robot to perform the task we want, however, it still requires lots of tuning to work properly.
You can have multiple instances and train robots with different parameters in parallel with our paid program in ROSDS. Please check it here if you are interested.
