## Description
This environment is based on the work of P. Wawrzyński in ["A Cat-Like Robot Real-Time Learning to Run"](http://staff.elka.pw.edu.pl/~pwawrzyn/pub-s/0812_LSCLRR.pdf).
The HalfCheetah is a 2-dimensional robot consisting of 9 body parts and 8 joints connecting them (including two paws).
The goal is to apply torque to the joints to make the cheetah run forward (right) as fast as possible, with a positive reward based on the distance moved forward and a negative reward for moving backward.
The cheetah's torso and head are fixed, and torque can only be applied to the other 6 joints over the front and back thighs (which connect to the torso), the shins (which connect to the thighs), and the feet (which connect to the shins).
## Action Space
```{figure} action_space_figures/half_cheetah.png
:name: half_cheetah
```
The action space is a `Box(-1, 1, (6,), float32)`. An action represents the torques applied at the hinge joints.
| Num | Action | Control Min | Control Max | Name (in corresponding XML file) | Joint | Type (Unit) |
| --- | --------------------------------------- | ----------- | ----------- | -------------------------------- | ----- | ------------ |
| 0 | Torque applied on the back thigh rotor | -1 | 1 | bthigh | hinge | torque (N m) |
| 1 | Torque applied on the back shin rotor | -1 | 1 | bshin | hinge | torque (N m) |
| 2 | Torque applied on the back foot rotor | -1 | 1 | bfoot | hinge | torque (N m) |
| 3 | Torque applied on the front thigh rotor | -1 | 1 | fthigh | hinge | torque (N m) |
| 4 | Torque applied on the front shin rotor | -1 | 1 | fshin | hinge | torque (N m) |
| 5 | Torque applied on the front foot rotor | -1 | 1 | ffoot | hinge | torque (N m) |
## Observation Space
The observation space consists of the following parts (in order):
- *qpos (8 elements by default):* Position values of the robot's body parts.
- *qvel (9 elements):* The velocities of these individual body parts (their derivatives).
By default, the observation does not include the robot's x-coordinate (`rootx`).
This can be included by passing `exclude_current_positions_from_observation=False` during construction.
In this case, the observation space will be a `Box(-Inf, Inf, (18,), float64)`, where the first observation element is the x-coordinate of the robot.
Regardless of whether `exclude_current_positions_from_observation` is set to `True` or `False`, the x- and y-coordinates are returned in `info` with the keys `"x_position"` and `"y_position"`, respectively.
By default, however, the observation space is a `Box(-Inf, Inf, (17,), float64)` where the elements are as follows:
| Num | Observation | Min | Max | Name (in corresponding XML file) | Joint | Type (Unit) |
| --- | ------------------------------------------- | ---- | --- | -------------------------------- | ----- | ------------------------ |
| 0 | z-coordinate of the front tip | -Inf | Inf | rootz | slide | position (m) |
| 1 | angle of the front tip | -Inf | Inf | rooty | hinge | angle (rad) |
| 2 | angle of the back thigh | -Inf | Inf | bthigh | hinge | angle (rad) |
| 3 | angle of the back shin | -Inf | Inf | bshin | hinge | angle (rad) |
| 4 | angle of the back foot | -Inf | Inf | bfoot | hinge | angle (rad) |
| 5 | angle of the front thigh | -Inf | Inf | fthigh | hinge | angle (rad) |
| 6 | angle of the front shin | -Inf | Inf | fshin | hinge | angle (rad) |
| 7 | angle of the front foot | -Inf | Inf | ffoot | hinge | angle (rad) |
| 8 | velocity of the x-coordinate of front tip | -Inf | Inf | rootx | slide | velocity (m/s) |
| 9 | velocity of the z-coordinate of front tip | -Inf | Inf | rootz | slide | velocity (m/s) |
| 10 | angular velocity of the front tip | -Inf | Inf | rooty | hinge | angular velocity (rad/s) |
| 11 | angular velocity of the back thigh | -Inf | Inf | bthigh | hinge | angular velocity (rad/s) |
| 12 | angular velocity of the back shin | -Inf | Inf | bshin | hinge | angular velocity (rad/s) |
| 13 | angular velocity of the back foot | -Inf | Inf | bfoot | hinge | angular velocity (rad/s) |
| 14 | angular velocity of the front thigh | -Inf | Inf | fthigh | hinge | angular velocity (rad/s) |
| 15 | angular velocity of the front shin | -Inf | Inf | fshin | hinge | angular velocity (rad/s) |
| 16 | angular velocity of the front foot | -Inf | Inf | ffoot | hinge | angular velocity (rad/s) |
| excluded | x-coordinate of the front tip | -Inf | Inf | rootx | slide | position (m) |
## Rewards
The total reward is: ***reward*** *=* *forward_reward - ctrl_cost*.
- *forward_reward*:
A reward for moving forward,
this reward would be positive if the Half Cheetah moves forward (in the positive $x$ direction / in the right direction).
$w_{forward} \times \frac{dx}{dt}$, where
$dx$ is the displacement of the "tip" ($x_{after-action} - x_{before-action}$),
$dt$ is the time between actions, which depends on the `frame_skip` parameter (default is $5$),
and `frametime` which is $0.01$ - so the default is $dt = 5 \times 0.01 = 0.05$,
$w_{forward}$ is the `forward_reward_weight` (default is $1$).
- *ctrl_cost*:
A negative reward to penalize the Half Cheetah for taking actions that are too large.
$w_{control} \times \|action\|_2^2$,
where $w_{control}$ is `ctrl_cost_weight` (default is $0.1$).
`info` contains the individual reward terms.
## Starting State
The initial position state is $\mathcal{U}_{[-reset\_noise\_scale \times I_{9}, reset\_noise\_scale \times I_{9}]}$.
The initial velocity state is $\mathcal{N}(0_{9}, reset\_noise\_scale^2 \times I_{9})$.
where $\mathcal{N}$ is the multivariate normal distribution and $\mathcal{U}$ is the multivariate uniform continuous distribution.
## Episode End
### Termination
The Half Cheetah never terminates.
### Truncation
The default duration of an episode is 1000 timesteps.
## Arguments
HalfCheetah provides a range of parameters to modify the observation space, reward function, initial state, and termination condition.
These parameters can be applied during `gymnasium.make` in the following way:
```python
import gymnasium as gym
env = gym.make('HalfCheetah-v5', ctrl_cost_weight=0.1, ....)
```
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
| -------------------------------------------- | --------- | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `xml_file` | **str** | `"half_cheetah.xml"` | Path to a MuJoCo model |
| `forward_reward_weight` | **float** | `1` | Weight for _forward_reward_ term (see `Rewards` section) |
| `ctrl_cost_weight` | **float** | `0.1` | Weight for _ctrl_cost_ weight (see `Rewards` section) |
| `reset_noise_scale` | **float** | `0.1` | Scale of random perturbations of initial position and velocity (see `Starting State` section) |
| `exclude_current_positions_from_observation` | **bool** | `True` | Whether or not to omit the x-coordinate from observations. Excluding the position can serve as an inductive bias to induce position-agnostic behavior in policies (see `Observation State` section) |
## Version History
* v5:
- Minimum `mujoco` version is now 2.3.3.
- Added support for fully custom/third party `mujoco` models using the `xml_file` argument (previously only a few changes could be made to the existing models).
- Added `default_camera_config` argument, a dictionary for setting the `mj_camera` properties, mainly useful for custom environments.
- Added `env.observation_structure`, a dictionary for specifying the observation space compose (e.g. `qpos`, `qvel`), useful for building tooling and wrappers for the MuJoCo environments.
- Return a non-empty `info` with `reset()`, previously an empty dictionary was returned, the new keys are the same state information as `step()`.
- Added `frame_skip` argument, used to configure the `dt` (duration of `step()`), default varies by environment check environment documentation pages.
- Restored the `xml_file` argument (was removed in `v4`).
- Renamed `info["reward_run"]` to `info["reward_forward"]` to be consistent with the other environments.
* v4: All MuJoCo environments now use the MuJoCo bindings in mujoco >= 2.1.3.
* v3: Support for `gymnasium.make` kwargs such as `xml_file`, `ctrl_cost_weight`, `reset_noise_scale`, etc. rgb rendering comes from tracking camera (so agent does not run away from screen). Moved to the [gymnasium-robotics repo](https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/gymnasium-robotics).
* v2: All continuous control environments now use mujoco-py >= 1.50. Moved to the [gymnasium-robotics repo](https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/gymnasium-robotics).
* v1: max_time_steps raised to 1000 for robot based tasks. Added reward_threshold to environments.
* v0: Initial versions release.
