• Abstract: Manipulating an articulated object requires perceiving itskinematic hierarchy: its parts, how each can move, and howthose motions are coupled. Previous work has explored per-ception for kinematics, but none infers a complete kinematichierarchy on never-before-seen object instances, without relyingon a schema or template. We present a novel perception systemthat achieves this goal. Our system infers the moving parts ofan object and the kinematic couplings that relate them. Toinfer parts, it uses a point cloud instance segmentation neuralnetwork and to infer kinematic hierarchies, it uses a graphneural network to predict the existence, direction, and typeof edges (i.e. joints) that relate the inferred parts. We trainthese networks using simulated scans of synthetic 3D models.We evaluate our system on simulated scans of 3D objects, andwe demonstrate a proof-of-concept use of our system to drivereal-world robotic manipulation.

  Generalizable articulated object manipulation is essential for home-assistant robots.

Our framework outperforms traditional methods on 8 categories seen and shows a powerful zero-shot capability for 8 unseen articulated object categories.

  We propose Neural 3D Articulation Prior (NAP), the first 3D deep generative model to synthesize 3D articulated object models. To generate articulated objects, we first design a novel articulation tree/graph parameterization and then apply a diffusion-denoising probabilistic model over this representation. In order to capture both the geometry and the motion structure whose distribution will affect each other, we design a graph-attention denoising network for learning the reverse diffusion process.

  Given a 3D object, kinematic motion prediction aims to identify the mobile parts as well as the corresponding motion parameters. We propose a graph neural network to learn the map between hierarchical part-level segmentation and mobile parts parameters. The network predictions yield a large scale of 3D objects with pseudo labeled mobility information.

  We present a neural network approach to transfer the motion from a single image of an articulated object to a rest-state (i.e., unarticulated) 3D model. Our network learns to predict the object's pose, part segmentation, and corresponding motion parameters to reproduce the articulation shown in the input image.

  We present an unsupervised approach for discovering articulated motions in a part-segmented 3D shape collection. Our approach is based on a concept we call category closure: any valid articulation of an object's parts should keep the object in the same semantic category. We evaluate our approach by using it to re-discover part motions from the PartNet-Mobility dataset.

NeRFs have become a popular choice for representing scenes due to their strong 3D prior. For planning, we utilize RRTs in the learned latent space, where we can exploit our model and the implicit object encoder to make sampling the latent space informative and more efficient.
