laika-kick-side-v02-trial
A kick with the inside of the foot. It passes 6 of 10 tests and kicks at a median 1.90 m/s. It fails on support-foot slip and on turning.
| Line | Kicking a ball |

Lineage
The first policy of its line.
Inputs and outputs
This section is read from the contract stamped inside the ONNX file. The robot
refuses a policy whose contract does not match its own. The same contract is in
io_contract.json.
| Observation | 47 values: base angular velocity (3), gravity direction (3), velocity command (3), joint positions (12), joint velocities (12), previous action (12), kick phase (2) |
| Action | 12 values, one per joint, clipped to ±1 |
| Action scale | l_hip_pitch_joint 0.5, l_hip_roll_joint 0.5, l_hip_yaw_joint 0.5, l_knee_joint 0.5, l_ankle_pitch_joint 0.5, l_ankle_roll_joint 0.5, r_hip_pitch_joint 0.8, r_hip_roll_joint 0.8, r_hip_yaw_joint 1, r_knee_joint 1.2, r_ankle_pitch_joint 0.7, r_ankle_roll_joint 0.6 |

| Sideways feed-forward gain | 0 |
| Joint order | l_hip_pitch_joint, l_hip_roll_joint, l_hip_yaw_joint, l_knee_joint, l_ankle_pitch_joint, l_ankle_roll_joint, r_hip_pitch_joint, r_hip_roll_joint, r_hip_yaw_joint, r_knee_joint, r_ankle_pitch_joint, r_ankle_roll_joint |

| Velocity limit | RS00 33 rad/s, RS02 20 rad/s, RS06 10 rad/s |
| Armature | RS00 0.0015, RS02 0.0032, RS06 0.007 |
| Joint friction | RS00 0.13, RS02 0.12, RS06 0.15 |
| Joint damping | 0.02 |
| Default stiffness and damping | RS00 12 and 0.6, RS02 20 and 1, RS06 30 and 1.5 |
| URDF and USD fingerprints | d6fab96bfc280a4d and 92b141c8dd200483 |
If the robot's motors differ from these, the simulator warns and the real robot refuses the policy.
Real robot
Sent to the real robot for a comparison on 29 September 2026. The result is not recorded.
Note
An earlier ball speed of 1.73 m/s came from overlapping collision boxes. With the ball placed correctly it leaves at 1.28 m/s.
Where it comes from
Lucen Robotics trained this policy for Laika in Isaac Lab. The inputs, outputs and plant come from the ONNX file's own stamp. The sim tests, where there are any, come from the training log's results.
