DefFlow: Robots Manipulate Ropes, Cloth into Precise 3D Goal Shapes via Point Flows
drsrinathsridha · x · 2026-11-09
Manipulating deformables like ropes, granular materials and cloth has long been a robotics challenge. @gauravsinghk03 introduces DefFlow, a goal-conditioned 3D world-action modelling approach that learns to manipulate deformable objects into diverse goal shapes using 3D point flows. The work will be presented at the CoRL2026 PhysWM workshop.
