mjfit peg benchmark under fire: cylinder-peg setup embeds a strong prior

YouJiacheng · x · 2026-10-20

In a discussion with Younghyo Park, YouJiacheng flags a potential issue with mjfit's sim-fitting: if the peg exactly matches the circumscribed polygon of the hole, ground-truth behavior should be "jammed," yet mjfit lets it drop once yaw matches. He also notes the intuitive "not jammed" metric in videos requires larger clearance for other methods, and that mjfit's official benchmark always uses cylinder pegs for round holes—a very strong prior.
