Detailed Description

Model lag by applying a low-pass filter to the action of an environment.

Note that there is a difference between "delay" and "lag":

• Delay is a fixed time interval corresponding to the time it takes the input to affect the output, e.g. output(t + delay) = input(t).
• Lag is a phase shift in the system's response. It can be thought of as a gradual response to input changes where the output does not immediately match the input, e.g. d/dt{output}(t) = lag * (input(t) - output(t)).

In this wrapper, we model lag where the output (action forward to the wrapped environment) is a low-pass filtered version of the input (action passed to step).
