roller-sprint-2m-roller-2-e

Another checkpoint of my second roller run. It leaves the skating behind and runs for speed, on a recipe shared by TheSauceman. It finishes every run in about 1.5 seconds.

A perpetual policy for the microduck (61-D observation, 14 actions, 50 Hz, on rollers). Runs until told otherwise โ€” a gait, loaded into a policy slot.

Run it on a robot

sudo robotctl policy load <slot> GinDuck/microduck-roller-sprint-2m-roller-2-e

The observation normalizer is baked into policy.onnx; feed raw observations. manifest.json follows schema 2 of the microduck policy manifest (docs/policy-manifest.md in the daemon repo).

  • repo: https://github.com/pollen-robotics/microduck-challenges
  • branch: race-2

Reproduce

Same code, same uv.lock, same command, same seed. Training it again yields a comparable policy, not the same weights: GPU reinforcement learning is not bit-reproducible across machines.
