This research addresses the critical gap between 2D visual reasoning and 3D physical manipulation by introducing 3DROID, a dataset that anchors renderable 3D Gaussian Splatting representations to real-world metric scales. By incorporating scene-level reliability metrics for camera extrinsics, the work enables more robust robot training pipelines where geometric benefits are explicitly conditioned on pose accuracy. This advancement directly enhances the fidelity of novel-view synthesis and control strategies in embodied AI systems.
3DROID: A Renderable 3D Gaussian Dataset with Measured Per-Scene Reliability
arXiv:2610.01744v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robot manipulation models primarily reason from 2D observations while acting in the 3D physical world. To bridge this gap, recent work has augmented robot data with geometric priors such as depth, point clouds, and 3D trajectories, while renderable 3D Gaussian representations provide another promising form of 3D supervision. However, 3DGS representation is designed mainly for photometric fidelity and may not preserve real-world metric scale, particularly when the supplied camera extrinsics are unreliable. We study the effect of extrinsic reliability and pose conditioning on feed-forward 3DGS, and propose a calibration-aware pipeline that anchors reconstructed scenes to the robot's metric workspace. Our experiments show that pose conditioning improves novel-view fidelity, while its geometric benefit depends on the reliability of the injected extrinsics. Using this pipeline, we present a renderable, metric-pose-anchored dataset with scene-level reliability information for robot manipulation research.
