Rodrigues Network for Learning Robot Actions

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2506.02618v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Understanding and predicting articulated actions is important in robot learning. However, common architectures such as MLPs and Transformers lack inductive biases that reflect the underlying kinematic structure of articulated systems. To this end, we propose the Neural Rodrigues Operator, a learnable generalization of the classical forward kinematics operation, designed to inject kinematics-aware inductive bias into neural computation.
