Abstract:
One long-term goal of my group’s research is to understand and simulate the physical world from visual observations, to support what-if prediction under actions and forces. In this talk, I will present our recent works on physical world models that connect pixels to explicit 3D state and dynamics, and integrate physical simulation with generative models to create interactive, physically grounded visual experiences. I will highlight applications in robotics and agriculture, and conclude with open directions toward making all images and videos interactive at scale.
