Simulation has been a necessary, safe testbed for robotics systems (RS). However, testing in simulation alone is not enough for robotic systems operating in close proximity, or interacting directly with, humans, because simulated humans are very limited. Furthermore, testing with real humans can be unsafe and costly. As recent advances in machine learning are being brought to physical robotic syst...
