rsasaki0109 · x · 2026-10-11
The author released DeformX, a versatile co-simulation framework for deformable linear objects (ropes, cables), accepted as an oral presentation at IROS 2026 and winner of the Best Short Paper Award at the CVPR 2026 SynData4CV Workshop.
- The framework supports high-fidelity simulation of flexible objects and real-world sim2real transfer.
- Real-robot demo: a UR5e arm swings a rope to knock an apple off a person's head, demonstrating a dynamic hit-target pipeline on real hardware.
