Bipedal locomotion control is essential for humanoid robots to navigate complex, human-centric environments. While optimization-based control designs are popular for integrating sophisticated models of humanoid robots, they often require labor-intensive manual tuning. In this work, we address the challenges of parameter selection in bipedal locomotion control using DiffTune, a model-based autotuning method that leverages differential programming for efficient parameter learning. A major difficulty lies in balancing model fidelity with differentiability. We address this difficulty using a low-fidelity model for differentiability, enhanced by a Ground Reaction Force-and-Moment Network (GRFM-Net) to capture discrepancies between MPC commands and actual control effects. We validate the parameters learned by DiffTune with GRFM-Net in hardware experiments, which demonstrates the parameters' optimality in a multi-objective setting compared with baseline parameters, reducing the total loss by up to 40.5$\%$ compared with the expert-tuned parameters. The results confirm the GRFM-Net's effectiveness in mitigating the sim-to-real gap, improving the transferability of simulation-learned parameters to real hardware.
