An Real-Sim-Real (RSR) Loop Framework for Generalizable Robotic Policy Transfer

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2503.10118v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The sim-to-real gap remains a critical challenge in robotics, hindering the deployment of algorithms trained in simulation to real-world systems. We propose a flexible Real-to-Sim-to-Real (RSR) framework whose central contribution is an information-theoretic cost function that explicitly accounts for sim-to-real discrepancies. This cost balances two objectives, completing the task and steering the policy to collect real-world samples that are maximally informative for improving transfer. It can be integrated seamlessly into existing reinforcement learning algorithms (e.g., PPO, SAC) and ensures a balanced exploration of critical regions in the real domain. The framework treats differentiable simulation as optional: when a differenti
