• Authors: David Hall, Stephen Hausler, Sutharsan Mahendren, Peyman Moghadam,
• Abstract summary: We provide an expanded analysis of the recent Reg-NF neural field registration method and its use-cases within a robotics context. We showcase the scenario of determining the 6-DoF pose of known objects within a scene using scene and object neural field models. We show how this may be used to better represent objects within imperfectly modelled scenes and generate new scenes by substituting object neural field models into the scene.

• Abstract: Neural fields provide a continuous scene representation of 3D geometry and appearance in a way which has great promise for robotics applications. One functionality that unlocks unique use-cases for neural fields in robotics is object 6-DoF registration. In this paper, we provide an expanded analysis of the recent Reg-NF neural field registration method and its use-cases within a robotics context. We showcase the scenario of determining the 6-DoF pose of known objects within a scene using scene and object neural field models. We show how this may be used to better represent objects within imperfectly modelled scenes and generate new scenes by substituting object neural field models into the scene.

  A robot self-model is a representation of the robot's physical morphology that can be used for motion planning tasks. We propose a new encoder-based neural density field architecture for dynamic object-centric scenes conditioned on high numbers of degrees of freedom. In a 7-DOF robot test setup, the learned self-model achieves a Chamfer-L2 distance of 2% of the robot's dimension workspace.

We illustrate the efficacy of our approach in manipulating novel objects in novel poses -- both in simulation and in the real world.

  We present a method to learn compositional predictive models from image observations based on implicit object encoders, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs), and graph neural networks. 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.
