Self-supervised 3D Shape and Viewpoint Estimation from Single Images for Robotics

Oier Mees, Maxim Tatarchenko, Thomas Brox +1

We present a convolutional neural network for joint 3D shape prediction and viewpoint estimation from a single input image. During training, our network gets the learning signal fr…

mimic-video: Video-Action Models for Generalizable Robot Control Beyond VLAs

Jonas Pai, Liam Achenbach, Victoriano Montesinos +3

Prevailing Vision-Language-Action Models (VLAs) for robotic manipulation are built upon vision-language backbones pretrained on large-scale, but disconnected static web data. As a…

From Human Videos to Robot Manipulation: A Survey on Scalable Vision-Language-Action Learning with Human-Centric Data

Zhiyuan Feng, Qixiu Li, Huizhi Liang +12

Recent progress in generalizable embodied control has been driven by large-scale pretraining of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. However, most existing approaches rely on large…
