Newton-FBA ships sim2real cloth manipulation, learned in minutes
ChongZzZhang · x · 2026-11-11
Responding to debates over which physics solver is more realistic, ChongZzZhang highlights PranaLabs' Newton-FBA, which openly ships sim2real for cloth manipulation: vision in, action out, learned in minutes/hours. The sim2real work was done by ZhengtaoHan, who is now applying for US PhD programs and endorsed by the author.
