Dexterous pen spinning and Rubik's cube: sim environments, zero-shot scripts, trained checkpoints
About the project
Training artifacts from experiments in dexterous robot manipulation: simulated environments, zero-shot scripts, and trained checkpoints for pen spinning and Rubik's cube solving.
Useful for
- Run the pen spinning policy with a trained PPO checkpoint in Isaac Lab
- Execute the zero-shot pen spinning planner without any training
- Run the scripted Rubik's cube controller in MuJoCo
