Sim-to-Real

How skills learned in simulation are transferred to physical robots.

Why it matters

Simulation can provide scalable environments for training, testing and synthetic data generation, but the resulting policy must tolerate differences between simulated and real sensors, dynamics and contact. NVIDIA's Isaac ecosystem explicitly combines simulation frameworks with robot foundation models and deployment infrastructure.
