Footsteps Planning RL Environments for Fast On-line Bipedal Footstep Planning and Forecasting.

This project introduces an efficient and lightweight method for bipedal footstep planning in local environments containing obstacles. Leveraging state-of-the-art Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) techniques, our approach achieves real-time on-line inference with minimal computational requirements. Unlike traditional methods, our solution is heuristic-free and operates within a continuous action space to generate feasible and effective footsteps for navigating complex environments.

In addition to planning, we propose a forecasting method, allowing to quickly estimate the number of footsteps required to reach different candidates of local targets. This forecasting is seamlessly integrated into the computations performed by the actor-critic DRL architecture, ensuring fast and reliable predictions without additional overhead.
These environments are dedicated to train efficient agents that can plan and forecast bipedal robot footsteps in order to go to a target location possibly avoiding obstacles. They are designed to be used with Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms.

Real world experiments were conducted during RoboCup competitions on the Sigmaban robot, a small-sized humanoid designed by the *Rhoban Team*.
