LocoMuJoCo is an imitation learning benchmark specifically targeted towards locomotion. It encompasses a diverse set of environments, including quadrupeds, bipeds, and musculoskeletal human models, each accompanied by comprehensive datasets, such as real noisy motion capture data, ground truth expert data, and ground truth sub-optimal data, enabling evaluation across a spectrum of difficulty levels.

LocoMuJoCo also allows you to specify your own reward function to use this benchmark for pure reinforcement learning! Checkout the example below!

✅ Easy to use with Gymnasium or Mushroom-RL interface
✅ Many environments including humanoids and quadrupeds
✅ Diverse set of datasets --> e.g., noisy motion capture or ground truth datasets with actions
✅ Wide spectrum spectrum of difficulty levels
✅ Built-in domain randomization
✅ Many baseline algorithms for quick benchmarking
✅ Documentation

You have the choice to install the latest release via PyPI by running

pip install loco-mujoco 

or you do an editable installation by cloning this repository and then running:

cd loco-mujoco
pip install -e . 

After installing LocoMuJoCo, new commands for downloading the datasets will be setup for you. You have the choice of downloading all datasets available or only the ones you need.

For example, to install all datasets run:

loco-mujoco-download

To install only the real (motion capture, no actions) datasets run:

loco-mujoco-download-real

To install only the perfect (ground-truth with actions) datasets run:

loco-mujoco-download-perfect

If you also want to run the baselines, you have to install our imitation learning library imitation_lib. You find example files for training the baselines for any LocoMuJoCo task here.

To verify that everything is installed correctly, run the examples such as:

python examples/simple_mushroom_env/example_unitree_a1.py

To replay a dataset run:

python examples/replay_datasets/replay_Unitree.py

You want a quick overview of all environments, tasks and datasets available? You can find it here and more detailed in the Documentation.

And stay tuned! There are many more to come ...

LocoMuJoCo is very easy to use. Just choose and create the environment, and generate the dataset belonging to this task and you are ready to go!

import numpy as np
import loco_mujoco
import gymnasium as gym


env = gym.make("LocoMujoco", env_name="HumanoidTorque.run")
dataset = env.create_dataset()

You want to use LocoMuJoCo for pure reinforcement learning? No problem! Just define your custom reward function and pass it to the environment!

import numpy as np
import loco_mujoco
import gymnasium as gym
import numpy as np


def my_reward_function(state, action, next_state):
    return -np.mean(action)


env = gym.make("LocoMujoco", env_name="HumanoidTorque.run", reward_type="custom",
               reward_params=dict(reward_callback=my_reward_function))

LocoMuJoCo natively supports MushroomRL:

import numpy as np
from loco_mujoco import LocoEnv

env = LocoEnv.make("HumanoidTorque.run")
dataset = env.create_dataset()

You can find many more examples here.
