Two root shifts in robot learning: Sim2Real and BC
danfei_xu · x · 2026-07-20
A thread on robot learning after deep learning. The author argues there are two root-level paradigm shifts: - **Sim2Real** for locomotion - **Behavior Cloning (BC)** for manipulation The attached sketch frames them as two deep roots under the same surface. The post is the opening claim in a longer thread about how these paradigms shaped modern robot learning.
