“a robot policy trained exclusively on simulated tactile data — never seeing a single real sensor reading — can be evaluated directly on physical hardware with competitive performance”

“We use ABAQUS to simulate the probing process on a finite element model of the tactile sensor. The model tracks a stress field for different load cases, yielding the taxel stress modality.”

“we generate the pseudo-ground-truth mesh deformation with the Abaqus 2024 Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulator, which provides accurate but computationally expensive deformation results”
