Title: Adapting control policies from simulation to reality using a pairwise loss,
Abstract: This paper proposes an approach to domain transfer based on a pairwise loss
function that helps transfer control policies learned in simulation onto a real
robot. We explore the idea in the context of a 'category level' manipulation
task where a control policy is learned that enables a robot to perform a mating
task involving novel objects. We explore the case where depth images are used
as the main form of sensor input. Our experimental results demonstrate that
proposed method consistently outperforms baseline methods that train only in
simulation or that combine real and simulated data in a naive way.
