PhysVGGT is a feed‑forward model that predicts dense maps of friction coefficient, Shore hardness, Young's modulus, and density, along with object‑level mass, from a single RGB image in one forward pass. It treats physical property estimation as a dense per‑pixel prediction problem, using a visual geometry transformer to extract geometry‑aware tokens and separate dense and global prediction branches. A scalable pseudo‑label generation pipeline enables large‑scale weakly supervised training, and the model achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on the ABO‑500 dataset while running 27× faster than previous methods.

arXiv:2606. 19451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce 3D-DLP, a self-supervised object-centric representation learning model that decomposes scene-level RGB-D or voxel observations into a set of 3D latent particles.

arXiv:2608. 19776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current dexterous grasp planners primarily optimize for physical stability, focusing on whether an object can be grasped rather than how it should be grasped to support downstream functional tasks.

arXiv:2608. 19759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multifingered grasping is a crucial robotic skill, but current deep-learning grasp planners often struggle to generalize to new objects because they are trained on limited, object-specific datasets.
