Zhe Zhao

Zhe Zhao is a researcher affiliated with Robotera who serves as the corresponding author of the 2026 paper "Closing the Reality Gap: Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real Deployment for Dexterous Force-Based Grasping and Manipulation." The paper, co-authored with Zhengmao He, Zhibin Li, and Xinyu Yi, presents a sim-to-real reinforcement learning framework for dexterous manipulation that enables zero-shot deployment on a five-finger robotic hand. The work was published as a preprint on arXiv and addresses force-controllable grasping and in-hand object reorientation using tactile feedback and actuator dynamics modeling.
