Botany-Bot: Digital Twin Monitoring of Occluded and Underleaf Plant Structures with Gaussian Splats
Simeon Adebola, Chung Min Kim, Justin Kerr +5
Commercial plant phenotyping systems using fixed cameras cannot perceive many plant details due to leaf occlusion. In this paper, we present Botany-Bot, a system for building detai…
GrowSplat: Constructing Temporal Digital Twins of Plants with Gaussian Splats
Simeon Adebola, Shuangyu Xie, Chung Min Kim +9
Accurate temporal reconstructions of plant growth are essential for plant phenotyping and breeding, yet remain challenging due to complex geometries, occlusions, and non-rigid defo…
Predict-Optimize-Distill: A Self-Improving Cycle for 4D Object Understanding
Mingxuan Wu, Huang Huang, Justin Kerr +4
Humans can resort to long-form inspection to build intuition on predicting the 3D configurations of unseen objects. The more we observe the object motion, the better we get at pred…
Persistent Object Gaussian Splat (POGS) for Tracking Human and Robot Manipulation of Irregularly Shaped Objects
Justin Yu, Kush Hari, Karim El-Refai +6
Tracking and manipulating irregularly-shaped, previously unseen objects in dynamic environments is important for robotic applications in manufacturing, assembly, and logistics. Rec…
Robot See Robot Do: Imitating Articulated Object Manipulation with Monocular 4D Reconstruction
Justin Kerr, Chung Min Kim, Mingxuan Wu +4
Humans can learn to manipulate new objects by simply watching others; providing robots with the ability to learn from such demonstrations would enable a natural interface specifyin…
Language-Embedded Gaussian Splats (LEGS): Incrementally Building Room-Scale Representations with a Mobile Robot
Justin Yu, Kush Hari, Kishore Srinivas +9
Building semantic 3D maps is valuable for searching for objects of interest in offices, warehouses, stores, and homes. We present a mapping system that incrementally builds a Langu…
Lifelong LERF: Local 3D Semantic Inventory Monitoring Using FogROS2
Adam Rashid, Chung Min Kim, Justin Kerr +11
Inventory monitoring in homes, factories, and retail stores relies on maintaining data despite objects being swapped, added, removed, or moved. We introduce Lifelong LERF, a method…
GARField: Group Anything with Radiance Fields
Chung Min Kim, Mingxuan Wu, Justin Kerr +3
Grouping is inherently ambiguous due to the multiple levels of granularity in which one can decompose a scene -- should the wheels of an excavator be considered separate or part of…
Language Embedded Radiance Fields for Zero-Shot Task-Oriented Grasping
Adam Rashid, Satvik Sharma, Chung Min Kim +4
Grasping objects by a specific part is often crucial for safety and for executing downstream tasks. Yet, learning-based grasp planners lack this behavior unless they are trained on…
LERF: Language Embedded Radiance Fields
Justin Kerr, Chung Min Kim, Ken Goldberg +2
Humans describe the physical world using natural language to refer to specific 3D locations based on a vast range of properties: visual appearance, semantics, abstract associations…
Mechanical Search on Shelves with Efficient Stacking and Destacking of Objects
Huang Huang, Letian Fu, Michael Danielczuk +6
Stacking increases storage efficiency in shelves, but the lack of visibility and accessibility makes the mechanical search problem of revealing and extracting target objects diffic…
Mechanical Search on Shelves using a Novel "Bluction" Tool
Huang Huang, Michael Danielczuk, Chung Min Kim +6
Shelves are common in homes, warehouses, and commercial settings due to their storage efficiency. However, this efficiency comes at the cost of reduced visibility and accessibility…
IPC-GraspSim: Reducing the Sim2Real Gap for Parallel-Jaw Grasping with the Incremental Potential Contact Model
Chung Min Kim, Michael Danielczuk, Isabella Huang +1
Accurately simulating whether an object will be lifted securely or dropped during grasping is a longstanding Sim2Real challenge. Soft compliant jaw tips are almost universally used…
