Ep#62: PolaRiS: Scalable Real-to-Sim Evaluations for Generalist Robot Policies

11 Feb 2026
59m
AI processed

Evaluating robotic policies in the real world is notoriously difficult, slow, and non-reproducible, yet simulation benchmarks often fail to capture real-world performance accurately. A new approach addresses this by leveraging 3D Gaussian splatting and generative models to create scalable, low-cost simulation environme...

Ep#60: Sim-to-Real Manipulation with VIRAL and Doorman

28 Jan 2026
1h 13m
AI processed

Humanoid loco-manipulation increasingly relies on sim-to-real reinforcement learning, yet bridging the gap between simulation and real-world deployment remains a significant challenge. The VIRAL and Doorman projects demonstrate that zero-shot, vision-based policy transfer is achievable for tasks like pick-and-place and...
