Humans use tools to perform almost all of the physical work that we do from day to day. However, tools come in many different sizes and shapes, and it’s very difficult to collect human data for them in general. What about training in simulation? SimTooReal aims to address this through, unsurprisingly, sim-to-real learning. Kushal Kedia and Tyler Lum talk about how it works: they procedurally generate tool-like objects, and then train with the universal objective of moving objects around to different locations. This creates a general-purpose model which can manipulate various tools to perform a variety of...
