摘要
Online reinforcement learning offers an effective approach to precise laboratory manipulation, yet costly real-world demonstrations and limited access to dense process rewards hinder its practical application. We present TwinBridge, a digital twin-driven framework that supplies policy initialization and dense visual rewards for real-world online learning. We construct digital twins by combining 3D Gaussian splatting with physics simulation. Here, simulator states provide task events and geometric progress under physical prerequisites and ordering constraints, yielding rewards for policy pretraining with simulated demonstrations and reinforcement learning. We distill this supervision into a visual reward model. During real-world interaction, its predictions are combined with execution history to compute dense rewards for human-in-the-loop policy refinement. Across five real-world laboratory tasks, TwinBridge achieves a final mean autonomous success rate of 98% with at most 25 minutes of real-world interaction per task. Experiments show that dense rewards improve interaction efficiency over sparse rewards, and simulation-based policy initialization further accelerates learning.
