——————
We invite you to submit your papers to the 1st Workshop on Generative Digital Twins for Real2Sim and Sim2Real Transfer in Robotics, which will be held at the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Robotics & Automation (ICRA), in Vienna, on 1 June 2026.
This workshop will explore generative digital twin technologies as a pathway to overcoming the persistent gaps between reality and simulation (Real2Sim) and simulation and reality (Sim2Real) in robotics.
Topics of Interest
We invite paper submissions on various topics, including (but not limited to):
Applications of digital twins in robotics, media content creation, AI-driven video synthesis, interior design, construction monitoring, and gaming.
Streaming and compression techniques for sharing large 3D scenes over the web.
Synchronization of the Digital Twin model with the video stream.
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and its extensions for dynamic scenes.
Lighting variations, shadows, material properties, and reflections in 3DGS reconstruction.
Modeling articulated object parts and their motion constraints from video (e.g., cabinets).
Inpainting and completion techniques for occluded regions in complex indoor scenes.
Retrieval-based and generative hybrid pipelines for 3D object and scene creation.
Learning object properties (mass, softness, friction) from videos.
Physics-informed 3D generation, blending physical simulation with visual generation.
Semantic 3D segmentation for scene understanding (object-level vs. fine-grained).
