Object Reconstruction under Occlusion with Generative Priors and Contact-induced Constraints

The paper presents a method for reconstructing object geometry under occlusion by combining generative shape priors with contact-based constraints. Generative models provide plausible guesses for unseen parts, while contact information from videos or physical interactions supplies sparse boundary constraints. The authors integrate these cues through a contact-guided 3D generation framework, demonstrating improved reconstruction on synthetic and real-world datasets compared to baseline approaches.

Reconstructing Humans and Objects in Interaction using Large Reconstruction Models

The paper introduces MILO, a framework that uses Large Reconstruction Models (LRMs) to reconstruct detailed 3D human‑object interactions from a single image. By treating the LRM mesh as a geometric scaffold, MILO segments it into human and object parts, fits a parametric body model to the human component, and optionally aligns an object template to the object component. The approach achieves higher reconstruction accuracy than existing baselines across multiple benchmarks and interaction scenarios.

MatterDoor: Sampling Zero-shot Spatio-semantic Priors using Generative Models

arXiv:2510. 11014v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous robots often view rooms only partially, through a doorway, where the walls and scene structure hide the geometry and task-relevant semantics needed for safe navigation and goal-directed action.

EgoAERO: Learning Dexterous Manipulation from a Single Egocentric Video without Object Assets

arXiv:2606. 08057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Egocentric RGB-D videos offer a natural source of human dexterous manipulation demonstrations, but existing data is difficult to use for robot learning because object pose, geometry, and contact information are often missing or require pre-scanned object assets.
