Simulation Distillation: Pretraining World Models in Simulation for Rapid Real-World Adaptation
Jacob Levy, Tyler Westenbroek, Kevin Huang +6
Robot learning requires adaptation methods that improve reliably from limited, mixed-quality interaction data. This is especially challenging in long-horizon, contact-rich tasks, w…
Emergent Dexterity via Diverse Resets and Large-Scale Reinforcement Learning
Patrick Yin, Tyler Westenbroek, Zhengyu Zhang +9
Reinforcement learning in massively parallel physics simulations has driven major progress in sim-to-real robot learning. However, current approaches remain brittle and task-specif…
RFS: Reinforcement Learning with Residual Flow Steering for Dexterous Manipulation
Entong Su, Tyler Westenbroek, Anusha Nagabandi +1
Imitation learning has emerged as an effective approach for bootstrapping sequential decision-making in robotics, achieving strong performance even in high-dimensional dexterous ma…
Rapidly Adapting Policies to the Real World via Simulation-Guided Fine-Tuning
Patrick Yin, Tyler Westenbroek, Simran Bagaria +4
Robot learning requires a considerable amount of high-quality data to realize the promise of generalization. However, large data sets are costly to collect in the real world. Physi…
