asRoBallet uses friction-aware RL for zero-shot Sim2Real transfer on ballbots

Researchers have developed asRoBallet, a novel end-to-end reinforcement learning policy for a humanoid ballbot, addressing the significant sim-to-real transfer gap in robotics. The system utilizes a high-fidelity MuJoCo simulation that accurately models complex friction dynamics and roller mechanics, enabling zero-shot transfer to hardware. This approach allows for expressive humanoid maneuvers orchestrated via a generalized iOS ecosystem. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a novel approach to sim-to-real transfer for complex robotic systems, potentially accelerating hardware deployment.

    asRoBallet: Closing the Sim2Real Gap via Friction-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Underactuated Spherical Dynamics

    arXiv:2604.24916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce asRoBallet, to the best of our knowledge, the first end-to-end reinforcement learning (RL) locomotion policy deployed on a humanoid ballbot hardware platform. Historically, ballbots have served as a canonical …
