VPTwin: 実機-シミュレーション-実機のビデオ予測によるロボットマニピュレーション計画

原文アブストラクト

While action-conditioned video prediction provides an intuitive world model for robotics, purely data-driven predictors often suffer from compounding errors and physically implausible hallucinations in long-horizon rollouts, severely undermining downstream action planning. We propose VPTwin, a Real-Sim-Real video prediction framework that anchors real-world future prediction using real-synchronized simulation twins. For a target manipulation task, a VLM reconstructs an executable digital twin from a real demonstration episode. To accommodate the ill-posed estimation of unobserved physical properties, Isaac Sim simulates multiple forward dynamic rollouts across randomized physical configurations under candidate action trajectories. Using these rollouts as in-context references, VPTwin harmonizes both domains, using simulation dynamics to enforce physical plausibility while capturing unmodeled contact interactions from real video. Furthermore, we establish a predictive planning loop using VPTwin to visually verify VLM-proposed actions and guide reliable real-world execution. Evaluations show substantial reductions in physical hallucinations during video prediction and marked improvements in manipulation planning performance.
