Simulation-trained policy achieves zero-shot real-world tool manipulation
Simulation-trained policy achieves zero-shot real-world tool manipulation
Tyler describes SimToolReal, a method that trains a single, goal-conditioned policy in simulation using reinforcement learning to perform dexterous tool manipulation (grasp, reorient, use) zero-shot on real-world tools without task-specific retraining, demonstrating strong recovery behaviors.
