Microsoft researchers develop a real-to-sim-to-real framework that combines reinforcement learning with parameterized grasp skills to generate diverse training data for dexterous manipulation, enabling 100% successful grasps on novel objects when fine-tuning vision-action models with only 40 real demonstrations.

Key insights

  • Separating approach and contact phases simplifies the learning problem while maintaining task flexibility
  • Residual RL policies can effectively adapt reference trajectories to different object shapes
  • Mixing simulated and real data significantly improves generalization compared to either alone
