All You Need Is Low Fidelity: Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real of Learned Robotic Fish Control

Complex tasks for underwater robots remain limited by the capabilities of their controllers. Learning a better one for a soft, underactuated robotic fish trades simulator cost against fidelity. We show that an intentionally low-fidelity simulator is enough: a stateless, quasi-steady fluid model with no wake and no adde...
