Eric Jang Monday, September 20, 2021 Robots Must Be Ephemeralized There is a subfield of robotics research called “sim-to-real” (sim2real) whereby one attempts to solve a robotic task in simulation, and then get a real robot to do the same thing in the real world. My team at Google utilizes Sim2Real techniques extensively in pretty much every domain we study, including locomotion and navigation and manipulation . The arguments for doing robotic research in simulation are generally well-known in the community: more statistical reproducibility, less concern about safety issues during
