Dream2Flow: Bridging Video Generation and Robotic Manipulation
Analysis
This paper introduces Dream2Flow, a novel framework that leverages video generation models to enable zero-shot robotic manipulation. The core idea is to use 3D object flow as an intermediate representation, bridging the gap between high-level video understanding and low-level robotic control. This approach allows the system to manipulate diverse object categories without task-specific demonstrations, offering a promising solution for open-world robotic manipulation.
Key Takeaways
- •Dream2Flow bridges video generation and robotic control using 3D object flow.
- •Enables zero-shot manipulation of diverse object categories.
- •Formulates manipulation as object trajectory tracking.
- •Converts 3D object flow into executable low-level commands.
- •Demonstrates scalability and generality in simulation and real-world experiments.
“Dream2Flow overcomes the embodiment gap and enables zero-shot guidance from pre-trained video models to manipulate objects of diverse categories-including rigid, articulated, deformable, and granular.”
