arXiv:2503.24009v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Realistic simulation is critical for applications ranging from robotics to animation. Learned simulators have emerged as a possibility to capture real world physics directly from video data, but very often require privileged information such as depth information, particle tracks and hand-engineered features to maintain spatial and temporal consistency. These strong inductive biases or ground truth 3D information help in domains where data is sparse but limit scalability and generalization in data rich regimes. To overcome the key limita
The rapid advancement in AI, particularly in generative models and embodied AI research, is enabling the development of sophisticated simulation techniques from basic visual data.
This development allows for the creation of realistic simulators for robotics and other applications without expensive ground truth 3D data, accelerating development cycles in crucial sectors.
The barrier to entry for developing highly realistic and generalizable simulation environments will decrease significantly, enabling broader AI application development without specialized sensors.
