In order to engage in complex social interaction, humans learn at a young age to infer what others see and cannot see from a different point-of-view, and learn to predict others' plans and behaviors. These abilities have been mostly lacking…
Robotic manipulation can greatly benefit from the data efficiency, robustness, and predictability of model-based methods if robots can quickly generate models of novel objects they encounter. This is especially difficult when effects like…
Robotic manipulation can be formulated as inducing a sequence of spatial displacements: where the space being moved can encompass an object, part of an object, or end effector. In this work, we propose the Transporter Network, a simple…
Videos provide a rich source of information, but it is generally hard to extract dynamical parameters of interest. Inferring those parameters from a video stream would be beneficial for physical reasoning. Robots performing tasks in dynamic…
Pose-driven full-body avatars built on neural rendering produce high-quality novel views of a captured subject. Yet loose clothing and other dynamic elements deform in ways pose alone cannot explain: the same pose can correspond to many…

We propose an action-conditioned dynamics model that predicts scene changes caused by object and agent interactions in a viewpoint-invariant 3D neural scene representation space, inferred from RGB-D videos. In this 3D feature space, objects…
For robots to be a part of our daily life, they need to be able to navigate among crowds not only safely but also in a socially compliant fashion. This is a challenging problem because humans tend to navigate by implicitly cooperating with…
