RSS 2025
We propose RoboVerse, a comprehensive framework for advancing robotics through a simulation platform, synthetic dataset, and unified benchmarks. Its MetaSim infrastructure abstracts diverse simulators into a universal interface, ensuring interoperability and extensibility. RoboVerse improves sim-to-real transfer and enables consistent evaluation for imitation and reinforcement learning, addressing key challenges in scaling robotic data and benchmarking.
