The Cable Learned Its Own Compact Dynamics
ChainSplat reconstructs deformable ropes and hoses from multi-view RGB video using an articulated screw-theoretic state.
Summary
ChainSplat reconstructs deformable ropes and hoses from multi-view RGB video using an articulated screw-theoretic state.
The framework represents a deformable linear object as rigid links joined by revolute joints, then combines that compact analytic model with Gaussian splatting to recover geometry, appearance, kinematics and dynamics. Real-world experiments reported leading prediction, reconstruction and rendering results, plus real-time state and force estimation and trajectory optimization. The tests cover cables, ropes and hoses under the paper's setups, not unrestricted deformable-object manipulation.
