Abstract: Fine-grained manipulation broadly refers to the capability of robots to handle and manipulate objects with high precision, adaptability and robustness. It remains a long-standing challenge in robotics as it includes high-dimensional control, contact-rich dynamics, and robustness towards environment uncertainty. Simulation is a powerful computational tool that has been used for decades to test and optimize safety-critical designs and algorithms in multiple industries. We discuss how we can leverage simulation to enable fast and effective policy learning for fine-grained manipulation and robust transfer to real-world deployment.Location: Ginsburg Hall (GCS) - 302C
