Sim2Real Neural Controllers for Physics-based Robotic Deployment of Deformable Linear Objects
Dezhong Tong, Andrew Choi, Longhui Qin +3
Deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as rods, cables, and ropes, play important roles in daily life. However, manipulation of DLOs is challenging as large geometrically nonlinear…
