• Abstract: This work presents a framework for automatically extracting physical object properties, such as material composition, mass, volume, and stiffness, through robot manipulation and a database of object measurements. The framework involves exploratory action selection to maximize learning about objects on a table. A Bayesian network models conditional dependencies between object properties, incorporating prior probability distributions and uncertainty associated with measurement actions. The algorithm selects optimal exploratory actions based on expected information gain and updates object properties through Bayesian inference. Experimental evaluation demonstrates effective action selection compared to a baseline and correct termination of the experiments if there is nothing more to be learned. The algorithm proved to behave intelligently when presented with trick objects with material properties in conflict with their appearance. The robot pipeline integrates with a logging module and an online database of objects, containing over 24,000 measurements of 63 objects with different grippers. All code and data are publicly available, facilitating automatic digitization of objects and their physical properties through exploratory manipulations.

  Articulated object manipulation requires precise object interaction, where the object's axis must be carefully considered. Previous research employed interactive perception for manipulating articulated objects, but typically, open-loop approaches often suffer from overlooking the interaction dynamics. We present a closed-loop pipeline integrating interactive perception with online axis estimation from segmented 3D point clouds.

  The ability to actively ground task instructions from an egocentric view is crucial for AI agents to accomplish tasks or assist humans virtually. We propose to improve phrase grounding models' ability on localizing the active objects by: learning the role of objects undergoing change and extracting them accurately from the instructions. We evaluate our framework on Ego4D and Epic-Kitchens datasets.

  "Hypothesize, Simulate, Act, Update, and Repeat" (H-SAUR) is a probabilistic generative framework that generates hypotheses about how objects articulate given input observations.

We further improve the test-time efficiency of H-SAUR by integrating a learned prior from learning-based vision models.
