• Abstract: Articulated object reconstruction from sparse-view images is an ill-posed problem that requires simultaneous inference of geometry and underlying articulation structure. Existing methods for articulated object reconstruction based on NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) typically rely on dense views or strong priors (e.g., depth maps, joint types, predefined number of joints) and require costly per-object optimization. In this paper, we propose ArtSplat, the first feed-forward framework for articulated 3D Gaussian Splatting. It reconstructs both geometry and joint parameters from sparse multi-view images across multiple articulation states in a single forward pass. To address the challenges of single-pass articulated reconstruction, we introduce a per-pixel joint map representation that enables the integration of joint parameter estimation into the feed-forward pipeline. We further propose a Cross-State Attention (CSA) mechanism with state tokens, which effectively captures discrete motion across input states. Experiments on 68 articulated objects from PartNet-Mobility, including both single- and multi-joint configurations, demonstrate that ArtSplat achieves competitive performance in both geometry and joint estimation, while being over 400 times faster than baselines.
