Digital twins enable robots to anticipate and adapt to physical interactions, but existing models struggle with elastoplastic articulated objects (EAOs) that exhibit nonlinear elasticity, plastic yielding, and damage accumulation. We present BoxTwin, an interactive digital twin framework that learns the full dynamics of EAOs from videos. Our pipeline reconstructs the scene, identifies a physics aware constitutive model for each EAO. Experiments on manual folding and dual arm manipulation of EAOs show that BoxTwin accurately tracks joint trajectories and reproduces post contact plastic behavior over long horizons. By integrating video driven reconstruction with elastoplastic damage modeling, BoxTwin advances digital twins toward predictive, adaptive control of deformable articulated objects in unstructured environments.
Reinforcement Learning (RL) systems are typically trained using a single, well-specified scalar reward function. However, real-world decision-making tasks often involve multiple, competing objectives, such as performance versus efficiency, where ground-truth reward functions are…
Simulating deformable objects is essential for a wide range of robotic manipulation applications, yet accurately predicting their dynamics remains challenging. We propose Physics-Guided Residual Dynamics (PGRD), a hybrid simulation framework that combines the advantages of physic…
Learning predictive models of the world enables robotic control through planning, potentially allowing robots to improvise solutions on new tasks. However, large video-based dynamics models lack explicit 3D spatial structure and suffer from geometrically inconsistent long-term ro…
Robust dynamic object detection and tracking are essential for enabling robots to operate safely and effectively alongside humans in complex environments such as construction sites. While LiDAR-based SLAM and occupancy grid methods offer viable solutions for detecting and trackin…
We study action-conditioned world modeling as a scalable way to learn transferable dynamics priors for robot learning. By pretraining a model to predict how actions drive visual scene evolution, the resulting world model captures reusable interaction dynamics beyond appearance-le…
