Asimov details zero-shot sim2real: locomotion policies going live in hours, not weeks
chris_j_paxton · x · 2026-09-13
Robotics company Asimov published an article on how they achieved zero-shot sim2real. They surveyed researchers worldwide on how long a new locomotion policy takes to go live on a real robot — answers ranged from "3-5 hours" to "two weeks to adapt a policy." The piece explains their approach to getting policies deployed on hardware quickly, a useful reference for sim2real teams.
