ROBOTICS

What if robotic hands could learn complex maneuvers purely in simulation and work perfectly in reality? ByteDance Seed just unveiled a breakthrough. Their new RL framework bridges the sim-to-real gap for dexterous hands with a fast virtual tactile simulation, current-to-torque calibration (no extra sensors!), and actuator dynamics modeling with randomization to cover real-world quirks. Result? Policies trained 100% in simulation directly enable a five-finger hand to perform precise, controllable grasp force tracking and object reorientation – a first for zero-shot sim-to-real multi-finger manipulation!
