### 1. (NPE - Most Recent)
21+
This research focuses on enabling real-time, high-fidelity simulation of contact mechanics for robotic manipulation. Standard rigid-body simulators use simplified contact models that fail to capture the complex deformation of soft sensors, while numerical solvers are too slow for online interaction.

**Methods:**
31+
A Neural Physics Engine is developed using a geometry-aware Graph Neural Network. This network is trained on the high-fidelity dataset generated in the previous topic to predict full-field nodal deformations based on sparse contact primitives provided by a rigid-body simulator. The model acts as a fast proxy solver that injects soft-body physics into a rigid simulation loop.

**Results**
34+
Takeaway The Neural Physics Engine achieves sub-millimeter accuracy in predicting deformation and runs significantly faster than traditional finite element solvers, enabling real-time simulation of contact-rich tasks. This capability allows for the zero-shot transfer of manipulation policies, such as peg-in-hole insertion, from simulation to the real world.
