# NVIDIA uses CoRL to move simulation-trained robotics from locomotion to fine assembly

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…
