SimWeaver: Zero-Shot RGB Sim-to-Real for Deformable Manipulation (opens in new tab)

RGB sim-to-real for deformable manipulation has remained largely unsolved without real-world fine-tuning. We present SimWeaver, which trains zero-shot RGB VLA policies on 200 simulated demonstrations per task, reaching above 80% per-task and 91% average real-world success across 5 diverse deformable tasks including plastic-bag manipulation, without teleoperation or per-task calibration. SimWeaver combines a reliable measurement-backed simulator ...
