Sim-to-Real Transfer
A research direction in robot learning focused on transferring policies trained in simulated environments to physical robots operating in the real world. The central challenge is bridging the reality gap—the discrepancy between simulated and real-world dynamics, sensor noise, and physical properties that causes policies effective in simulation to degrade or fail when deployed on actual hardware.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The process of transferring control policies learned in simulation to real hardware is called Sim-to-Real transfer.
High-dynamic movements such as the long jump are particularly sensitive to the gap between simulation and reality, being affected by variations in friction, motor response delays, and material deformation.
In the TCV experiments, DeepMind employed domain randomization and system identification techniques to bridge the sim-to-real transfer gap, using high-fidelity simulators LIUQE and FGE.
