Sim-to-Real gap in RL: Use Case with TIAGo and Isaac Sim/Gym

This paper explores policy-learning approaches in the context of sim-to-real transfer for robotic manipulation using a TIAGo mobile manipulator, focusing on two state-of-art simulators, Isaac Gym and Isaac Sim, both developed by Nvidia. Control architectures are discussed, with a particular emphasis on achieving collision-less movement in both simulation and the real environment. Presented results demonstrate successful sim-to-real transfer, showcasing similar movements executed by an RL-trained model in both simulated and real setups.
