NVIDIA and partner labs presented simulation work on aligning gears, connecting cables and assembling small parts, tasks where contact physics, not gait control, limits sim-to-real transfer.

NVIDIA used the Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) to argue that simulation is now useful for tasks that require a finer touch. Its examples were aligning gears, connecting cables and assembling small components. NVIDIA presents this as a…
