PhysCoRe: Physics-Corrected Residual World Models for Material-Aware Deformable Dynamics

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.20653v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting how deformable objects evolve under robotic manipulation is a longstanding challenge. Existing approaches typically rely on per-object optimization to fit material parameters, which can be slow and cannot generalize, while end-to-end learned alternatives extrapolate poorly and often violate basic physical structure. We present PhysCoRe, a physics-corrected residual world model that couples a differentiable Material Point Method (MPM) simulator with two feed-forward neural networks. A material refinement module, Material from Motion (MfM), infers per-particle elasticity from visual observations, grounding the simulator in object-specific physics. A residual correction module, Residual from Dynamics (RfD), learns the discrepancy an
