This raises the question of how simulators can be modified to facilitate learning robot control policies and overcome the mismatch between simulation and reality, often called the 'reality gap'. ...
We provide a comprehensive review of sim-to-real research for robotics, focusing on a technique named 'domain randomization' which is a method for learning from randomized simulations. ...
Taking this idea one step further, we could additionally include the domain parameters for inference, and thereby establish connections to dual control (Feldbaum, 1960; Wittenmark, 1995) . ...
