摘要

在具身学习领域,机器人对可变形物体的操作呈现出数据密集型特征,其形状、接触状态和拓扑结构的协同演化远超刚体对象的变异性。尽管仿真技术有望缓解现实世界数据采集的成本压力,但主流仿真到现实(sim-to-real)流程仍基于刚体抽象模型,导致几何失配、柔体动力学脆弱以及不适于布料交互的运动基元。我们认为仿真失效并非因其合成属性,而是因其缺乏物理根基。为此,我们提出SIM1——一种物理对齐的现实-仿真-现实(real-to-sim-to-real)数据引擎,将仿真建立在物理世界基础上。该系统通过有限示教数据将场景数字化为度量一致的双生模型,通过弹性建模校准可变形体动力学,并采用基于扩散的轨迹生成与质量过滤机制扩展行为模式。该流程将稀疏观测转化为具有近似示教保真度的规模化合成监督信号。实验表明,基于纯合成数据训练的策略在1:15等效比下达到真实数据基线水平,在真实部署中实现90%的零样本成功率及50%的泛化性能提升。这些结果验证了物理对齐仿真可作为可变形物体操作的可扩展监督机制,为数据高效策略学习提供了可行路径。

Robotic manipulation with deformable objects represents a data-intensive regime in embodied learning, where shape, contact, and topology co-evolve in ways that far exceed the variability of rigids. Although simulation promises relief from the cost of real-world data acquisition, prevailing sim-to-real pipelines remain rooted in rigid-body abstractions, producing mismatched geometry, fragile soft dynamics, and motion primitives poorly suited for cloth interaction. We posit that simulation fails not for being synthetic, but for being ungrounded. To address this, we introduce SIM1, a physics-aligned real-to-sim-to-real data engine that grounds simulation in the physical world. Given limited demonstrations, the system digitizes scenes into metric-consistent twins, calibrates deformable dynamics through elastic modeling, and expands behaviors via diffusion-based trajectory generation with quality filtering. This pipeline transforms sparse observations into scaled synthetic supervision with near-demonstration fidelity. Experiments show that policies trained on purely synthetic data achieve parity with real-data baselines at a 1:15 equivalence ratio, while delivering 90% zero-shot success and 50% generalization gains in real-world deployment. These results validate physics-aligned simulation as scalable supervision for deformable manipulation and a practical pathway for data-efficient policy learning.
