From Video to Control: A Survey of Learning Manipulation Interfaces from Temporal Visual Data

Chen Wang, Jia Pan, Linfang Zheng, Wei Zhang, Zikai Ouyang

Video-based robot manipulation methods are limited most by how predictions connect to reliable physical actions.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

A cross-family synthesis reveals that the most pressing open challenges center on the robotics integration layer -- the mechanisms that connect video-derived predictions to dependable robot behavior.

C2weakest assumption

That the three-family interface-centric taxonomy captures the essential distinctions among existing methods without leaving out important approaches or creating artificial boundaries.

C3one line summary

A survey introduces an interface-centric taxonomy for video-to-control methods in robotic manipulation and identifies the robotics integration layer as the central open challenge.
