PhysVGGT: Feed-Forward Dense Physical Property Estimation from A Single Image

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Physical properties, such as friction, hardness, stiffness, and density, govern how robots should grasp, manipulate and interact with objects, yet estimating these properties from RGB images remains challenging. Existing methods typically employ per-object reconstruction augmented with physical properties or directly query vision-language models at test time, which results in substantial computational overhead that limits their applicability. In this work, we present PhysVGGT, a feed-forward model that predicts dense maps of friction coefficient, Shore hardness, Young's modulus, and density, t
