Sim-and-Human Co-training (SimHum) is a method that combines simulation and human demonstration data to train bimanual manipulation policies. It first extracts kinematic priors from simulation and visual priors from human observations, then fine‑tunes on a small real‑robot dataset. With only 80 real‑robot episodes per task, SimHum achieves 62.5% success on out‑of‑distribution scenes across four tabletop tasks, outperforming real‑only training by 53.7% and improving the best single‑source baseline by 35.0% in a matched‑time study.
