Hi @mrdbstn , if you are using the MJX backend, it is not sufficient to update xpos. One must update qpos or mocap_pos, since xpos is derived from qpos. I recommend using |

Hi @btaba, thanks for the reply! It works, I can move the goal successfully now by hard-coding the mocap_pos. My question now is that I am setting the mocap_pos of the goal to a random position in the reset function, it seems to be getting set to exact same value even across runs. I figures this is what domain_randomization is supposed to be used for, but as far as I understand I only have access to sys, but mocap_pos lives in data. How am I supposed to randomize the goal position so the agent learns a more generalizable policy? from datetime import datetime

Hi, I'm working on Brax for my master thesis in Safe Reinforcement Learning, where I want to integrate common tasks into Brax. One of these tasks is for the agent to walk to a goal while avoiding hazards. I would like the goal to change position after the agent reaches it. However, I'm struggling to get it actually rendering the new position of the goal.
humanoid_hazard_goal.xml
I've created various environments, but for testing purposes, I'm trying to make it work with this environment where I set a new position for the goal every 10 steps.
I then use this code to render the rollout:
In the video, the goal just stays at the initial position given in the xml. Please let me know how I can manage to do this and whether I need to provide any more information
