• Abstract: Despite the substantial progress in deep learning, its adoption in industrial robotics projects remains limited, primarily due to challenges in data acquisition and labeling. Previous sim2real approaches using domain randomization require extensive scene and model optimization. To address these issues, we introduce an innovative physically-based structured light simulation system, generating both RGB and physically realistic depth images, surpassing previous dataset generation tools. We create an RGBD dataset tailored for robotic industrial grasping scenarios and evaluate it across various tasks, including object detection, instance segmentation, and embedding sim2real visual perception in industrial robotic grasping. By reducing the sim2real gap and enhancing deep learning training, we facilitate the application of deep learning models in industrial settings.

  In Meta-Sim2, we aim to learn the scene structure in addition to parameters, which is a challenging problem due to its discrete nature. We use Reinforcement Learning to train our model, and design a feature space divergence between our synthesized and target images that is key to successful training. We also show that this leads to downstream improvement in the performance of an object detector trained on our generated dataset as opposed to other baseline simulation methods.
