Actron3D: Learning Actionable Neural Functions from Videos for Transferable Robotic Manipulation
arXiv:2510.12971v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present Actron3D, a framework that enables robots to acquire transferable 6-DoF manipulation skills from monocular, uncalibrated, RGB-only human demonstration videos. Our key idea is to represent manipulation knowledge within a video as a continuous neural function over object space. At the core of Actron3D lies the Neural Affordance Function, which distills geometry, visual features, contact priors, and action flows from diverse demonstration videos into a compact 3D neural representation. During deployment, we adopt a hierarchical pipeline that retrieves the matched affordance function and transfers encoded manipulation knowledge to novel objects through coarse-to-fine differentiable optimization. Leveraging the continuous nature of Neural Affordance Function, the framework performs spatial queries over multimodal features to align demonstrations with observations and generates precise 6-DoF manipulation policy. Experiments in both simulation and the real-world demonstrate that Actron3D significantly outperforms prior methods, achieving a 14.9 percentage point improvement in the average success rate across 13 tasks while requiring only 2-3 demonstration videos per task.
