RSRD takes in 1) a multi-view object scan and 2) a monocular demonstration video. By creating part-aware 3D representations using GARField (parts, toggle for clusters) and DINOv2 (tracking SE3 pose), these smartphone-captured inputs can generate these 4D reconstructions: These 4D reconstructions are rendered in-browser! If you think that's cool, check out Viser! After recovering 3D part motion, RSRD optimizes grasps and robot motions to reproduce the 4D reconstructions. These can be physically executed on a real robot to produce the demonstrated motion: RSRD's visual imitation is object-centric, allowing it to adapt to different object orientations with the same demo: 0 degrees rotated 180 degrees rotated 0 degrees rotated 30 degrees rotated 45 degrees rotated 4D Differentiable Part Models 4D-DPM decomposes objects into parts with GARField, and trains part-centric feature fields on top of these. Each part is assigned a trainable 6D pose parameter which is optimized with gradient descen

Humans imitate manipulation by watching object motion, not hand motion. RSRD does the same. This enables imitation from a single video robust to ori
