Generalizable and Actionable Parts Pose Estimation with Symmetry Annotation-Free Learning Strategy

Urgently needed generalizable robot object interaction and manipulation requires high-quality Cross-Category object perception. As a pioneer of this area, Generalizable and Actionable Parts (GAParts) understanding has attracted increasing attention from relevant researchers. However, most recent works either have insufficient design regarding the symmetry issue or require rich symmetry annotation, which severely impedes precise GAPart pose estimation in data-lacking scenarios. In this paper, we propose SAFAG, a novel Symmetry Annotation-Free framework for Generalizable and Actionable Parts Pose Estimation. Specifically, we suggest a stepwise refinement two-stage framework for candidate-to-final quaternion regression, and tackle the symmetry prediction as a probability distribution problem with self-supervised learning strategy. The experimental results demonstrate the superior performance and robustness of our SAFAG. We believe that our work has the enormous potential to be applied in many areas of embodied AI system.

SPAGS: Sparse-View Articulated Object Reconstruction from Single State via Planar Gaussian Splatting

Articulated objects are ubiquitous in daily environments, and their 3D reconstruction holds great significance across various fields. However, existing articulated object reconstruction methods typically require costly inputs such as multi-stage and multi-view observations. To address the limitations, we propose a category-agnostic articulated object reconstruction framework via planar Gaussian Splatting, which only uses sparse-view RGB images from a single state. Specifically, we first introduce a Gaussian information field to perceive the optimal sparse viewpoints from candidate camera poses. To ensure precise geometric fidelity, we constrain traditional 3D Gaussians into planar primitives, facilitating accurate normal and depth estimation. The planar Gaussians are then optimized in a coarse-to-fine manner, regularized by depth smoothness and few-shot diffusion priors. Furthermore, we leverage a Vision-Language Model (VLM) via visual prompting to achieve open-vocabulary part segmentation and joint parameter estimation. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing baselines, achieving superior part-level surface reconstruction fidelity.
