Artic-O: End-to-End Articulated Object Reconstruction via Latent Geometry Learning

Artic-O is an end‑to‑end, feed‑forward framework that reconstructs articulated objects from sparse images by learning latent geometry. It maps multi‑state observations into a pretrained latent geometry space, uses a frozen flow‑matching decoder for complete‑shape priors, and fuses visual tokens with geometry latents in an image‑grounded part‑reasoning module to segment active parts and predict articulation. Trained with a geometry‑to‑articulation curriculum and a decoupled two‑pass strategy, Artic‑O achieves high reconstruction quality and articulation accuracy while drastically reducing inference time from 9 minutes to about 0.3 seconds per object.

FAMOS: Feed-Forward 3D Articulation Modeling from Sparse Observations

FAMOS is a feed‑forward model that predicts movable‑part segmentation and joint parameters from a sparse, unordered set of partial point clouds. It jointly reasons over multiple observations using a Multi‑state Articulation Transformer that alternates state‑wise and global attention, and introduces an observed articulation span objective to supervise motion ranges across inputs. A procedural data generator supplies self‑annotated assets for training, and experiments on PartNet‑Mobility, ACD, and ArtiCraft‑10K show consistent improvements over existing feed‑forward and optimization‑based baselines.

Track2Art: Motion-Centric Articulated Object Model Recovery from 2D Point Trackers

Track2Art is a motion‑centric framework that recovers articulated object models from RGB‑D interaction videos by lifting 2D point tracks into 3D trajectories. It groups these trajectories into rigid‑part hypotheses and uses learned‑analytic reasoning to infer directed kinematic relations, joint types, and joint geometry. On the PartNet‑Mobility benchmark, it achieves 0.695 Point IoU and 0.410 end‑to‑end J@20 without requiring ground‑truth part counts or test‑time optimization.

PWM-ArtGen: Part World Model for Articulated Object Generation

The key challenge in articulated 3D object generation from a single image is accurately predicting the underlying kinematic structure. Existing methods either infer kinematic parameters directly from a static image that lacks dynamic part-level kinematic relationships, or estimate parameters from visual dynamics generated from a single image, which is prone to accumulated errors of two steps.
