Transferring Industrial Robot Assembly Tasks from Simulation to Reality

Originally published at: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/transferring-industrial-robot-assembly-tasks-from-simulation-to-reality/

Simulation is an essential tool for robots learning new skills. These skills include perception (understanding the world from camera images), planning (formulating a sequence of actions to solve a problem), and control (generating motor commands to change a robot’s position and orientation). Robotic assembly is ubiquitous in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical device industries.…
