Track, Articulate, Act: Generating Articulation from Casual Human Videos
Human videos contain rich causal evidence for robot manipulation: they reveal how hand motion induces object motion and produces task-relevant changes in object state. In this work, we study articulated objects such as doors, drawers, cabinets, laptops, ovens, and hinged containers that are ubiquitous in daily life and present unique challenges for embodied interaction. These objects cannot be represented by a single pose; their motion depends on the underlying parts and joints. We introduce a real-to-sim framework that reconstructs a simulation-ready articulated object and hand-object interaction from a casual monocular RGB video, without RGB-D or multi-view input, prior scans, manually ...
