Correspondence-Free, Function-Based Sim-to-Real Learning for Deformable Surface Control

2025-08-25 · Yingjun Tian, Guoxin Fang, Renbo Su, Aoran Lyu, Neelotpal Dutta, Weiming Wang, Simeon Gill, Andrew Weightman, Charlie C. L. Wang arxiv

This paper presents a correspondence-free, function-based sim-to-real learning method for controlling deformable freeform surfaces. Unlike traditional sim-to-real transfer methods that strongly rely on marker points with full correspondences, our approach simultaneously learns a deformation function space and a confidence map -- both parameterized by a neural network -- to map simulated shapes to their real-world counterparts. As a result, the sim-to-real learning can be conducted by input from either a 3D scanner as point clouds (without correspondences) or a motion capture system as marker points (tolerating missed markers). The resultant sim-to-real transfer can be seamlessly integrated into a neural network-based computational pipeline for inverse kinematics and shape control. We demonstrate the versatility and adaptability of our method on both vision devices and across four pneumatically actuated soft robots: a deformable membrane, a robotic mannequin, and two soft manipulators.

Correspondence-Less Non-rigid Registration of Triangular Surface Meshes

2013-06-01 · CVPR 2013 6 · Zsolt Santa, Zoltan Kato

A novel correspondence-less approach is proposed to find a thin plate spline map between a pair of deformable 3D objects represented by triangular surface meshes. The proposed method works without landmark extraction and…
