MotionForesight: Re-purposing Video Models for Future 3D Scene-Flow Prediction
Homanga Bharadhwaj, Yash Jangir
Humans can infer how objects are likely to move from passive observation: a cup may be lifted, a drawer may slide, and a lid may rotate shut. Such predictions expose the physical c…
Functional Force-Aware Retargeting from Virtual Human Demos to Soft Robot Policies
Uksang Yoo, Mengjia Zhu, Evan Pezent +8
We introduce SoftAct, a framework for teaching soft robot hands to perform human-like manipulation skills by explicitly reasoning about contact forces. Leveraging immersive virtual…
LiLo-VLA: Compositional Long-Horizon Manipulation via Linked Object-Centric Policies
Yue Yang, Shuo Cheng, Yu Fang +4
General-purpose robots must master long-horizon manipulation, defined as tasks involving multiple kinematic structure changes (e.g., attaching or detaching objects) in unstructured…
Dexterous Manipulation Policies from RGB Human Videos via 3D Hand-Object Trajectory Reconstruction
Hongyi Chen, Tony Dong, Tiancheng Wu +7
Multi-finger robotic hand manipulation and grasping are challenging due to the high-dimensional action space and the difficulty of acquiring large-scale training data. Existing app…
Walk through Paintings: Egocentric World Models from Internet Priors
Anurag Bagchi, Zhipeng Bao, Homanga Bharadhwaj +3
What if a video generation model could not only imagine a plausible future, but the correct one -- accurately reflecting how the world changes with each action? We answer this by p…
ObjectForesight: Predicting Future 3D Object Trajectories from Human Videos
Rustin Soraki, Homanga Bharadhwaj, Ali Farhadi +1
Humans can effortlessly anticipate how objects might move or change through interaction--imagining a cup being lifted, a knife slicing, or a lid being closed. We aim to endow compu…
