Physics-accurate video generation is a crucial problem to solve if we want to arrive at world models that are actually useful. The key issue is that typical diffusion-based video models don't replicate real-world physics accurately because they simply don't have the right inductive biases to "fit" the exact underlying dynamics of the scene.

We at @DiracRobotics took this challenge head on, and here's our v0 of WorldMatter, a physics-accurate gaussian simulator!

Given a few training samples of a particular type of physical interaction (eg: bowling ball hitting some pins), it's able to learn, and generalize the dynamics to give us accurate rollouts of the scene.

Check out our results in this video. There are definitely still some imperfections, but our approach is getting iteratively better with each experiment we execute.

Stay tuned for our upcoming releases!

The first step towards building a world where robots can learn.

Meet WorldMatter v0 from Dirac.

Our 3D Gaussian world model rolls out world interactions after seeing a few initial frames.

The same rollout can be observed from novel viewpoints, letting us see the interaction from different angles while preserving 3D geometry and plausible physics.

It can generalise across different motions of the world, including complex multi-collision environments.

This is just the beginning.

We've massively upgraded our Real2Sim pipeline!

Check out a detailed comparison between our pipeline, Astra and Argon. You can see that the frontier models always tend to miss out on crucial geometric and textural details that we capture accurately.

What does it actually take to turn a real-world environment into a simulation that robots can use?

At @DiracRobotics we’ve been reconstructing a Chipotle restaurant, from the overall layout and furniture down to individual objects and lighting.

Here’s a closer look. 1/5

Absolute legends! Super bullish on @archgen_ 🔥🚀

@HariAyapps and @naveen_venk gave one of the most technically dense talks at @lossfunk

Super excited to see what's next from them!!

There are two primary ways to train your robot; I) Imitation Learning, II) Reinforcement Learning.

The former needs a lot of data, either teleop or human (with a rig), which is expensive and unscalable. Plus IL tends to be a brittle training approach.

The latter requires something harder - physics-accurate simulation environments.

We don't really have any way to create an accurate sim environment automatically, we usually have to go through the manual 3D/Sim modelling route, or give up and use assets from omniverse or lightwheel.

Today, that changes.

We can help you get YOUR assets, YOUR scene, YOUR physics, into a sim in the fastest and easiest way possible. Now you can start training your robot in your specific environments as soon as possible.

This is what we're building at Dirac Robotics. Robotics has never seen simplicity like this before!

Let us know if there are any assets or scenes you need made! We'll get it done.

Building this with @divyans1461 , @joinef
