Robotics spat: domain randomization IS an explicit noise model; RL controllers fail OOD
KyleMorgenstein · x · 2026-10-02
A technical exchange in robotics control: challenging the claim about "unmodeled errors," Kyle Morgenstein argues that doing domain randomization (DR) is itself an explicit noise model, while RL controllers are famously poor out of distribution. The thread touches on how DR-based and RL approaches handle uncharacterized noise and unknown disturbances.
