To advance the use of synthetic data for cloth manipulation and to enable tasks such as robotic folding, we present a synthetic data pipeline to train keypoint detectors for almost flattened cloth items.

Currently, robots are often treated as a black box in this optimization process, which is the reason why derivative-free optimization methods such as evolutionary algorithms or reinforcement learning are omnipresent.
