Article Summary

Large-scale manipulation demonstrations are essential for learning robust visuomotor policies, yet real-world data collection is expensive and difficult to scale. Simulation offers a promising alternative, but physical and visual discrepancies can limit the transferability of synthetic data, particularly for manipulation with soft grippers. We present PhyVisGen, a physically and visually high-fidelity framework for scalable robotic manipulation data generation. On the physical side, PhyVisGen introduces an arm-gripper coupling method based on the Incremental Potential Contact (IPC), enabling high-fidelity soft contact throughout complete manipulation trajectories. On the visual side, it combines real-scene reconstruction with real-time path tracing to generate visually realistic observations while preserving captured scene appearance. Quantitative evaluations demonstrate the physical and visual fidelity of PhyVisGen. Policies trained exclusively on synthetic manipulation demonstrations achieve 65-95% success across five real-robot tasks, without real-robot demonstration data or policy fine-tuning.
