Abstract Climbing ramps is an important ability for humanoid robots: ramps exist everywhere in the world, such as in accessibility ramps and building entrances. This works proposes the use of Reinforcement Learning to learn the action policy that will make a robot walk in an upright position, in a lightly sloped terrain. The proposed architecture of our system is a two-layer combination of the traditional gait generation control loop with a reinforcement learning component. This allows the use of an accelerometer to generate a correction for the gait, when the slope of the floor where the robot is walking changes. Experiments performed on a real robot showed that the proposed architecture is a good solution for the stability problem.
