Sim-to-real (simulation to reality)

Training a robot in simulation, then transferring the skills to the real world.

A training approach consisting of having a robot learn in a digital environment (a physics simulator) before transferring those skills to the physical robot. The central difficulty is the "reality gap": the discrepancy between simulation and real-world physics. NEURA Robotics partially works around this problem by training its robots in real physical environments (NEURA Gyms) rather than solely in simulation.
