  abstract={
   This paper presents the design and learning architecture for an 
omnidirectional walk used by a humanoid robot soccer agent acting in the RoboCup
3D simulation environment.  The walk, which was originally designed for and 
tested on an actual Nao robot before being employed in the 2011 RoboCup 3D
simulation competition, was the crucial component in the UT Austin Villa team
winning the competition in 2011.  To the best of our knowledge, this is the 
first time that robot behavior has been conceived and constructed on a real 
robot for the end purpose of being used in simulation.  The walk is based on a 
double linear inverted pendulum model, and multiple sets of its parameters are
optimized via a novel framework. The framework optimizes parameters for 
different tasks in conjunction with one another, a little-understood problem 
with substantial practical significance.  Detailed experiments show that the UT 
Austin Villa agent significantly outperforms all the other agents in the 
competition with the optimized walk being the key to its success.
