Ai2's MolmoMotion Forecasts Object Trajectories in 3D From a Language Instruction
A vision-language model that predicts where marked points will move in world coordinates aims to give robot planners and video generators a reusable, learned model of how objects move (a motion prior).
The Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) released MolmoMotion, a language-guided model that forecasts the future trajectories of points attached to objects within a 3D world frame. Given a video frame, a set of 3D points marked on an object, and a…
