splataverse-urdf

Articulated robots as per-link 3D Gaussian splats: the ALMA legged manipulator (ANYmal D + DynaArm

  • Robotiq 2F-85 gripper) and the Allegro hand. Every link is its own splat in that link's frame, so a pose is world_T_link(joint angles) @ splat.

Robot descriptions (URDFs and meshes) are not distributed here. The Allegro hand description is available from allegro_hand_ros: real_splats/ matches the 25-link BioTac variant and pbr_splats/ the 17-link plain hand. Link names match the URDF link names, so poses follow from the robot's own description.

PBR PLY format

Standard 3DGS PLY (x y z f_dc_0..2 opacity scale_0..2 rot_0..3, SH degree 0, f_dc = (rgb - 0.5) / 0.2821, scales are log of the standard deviation in metres, opacity is a logit of 0.99, quaternions are w x y z) with extra per-Gaussian properties: nx ny nz (surface normal), roughness, metallic, occlusion, emissive_0..2 (glTF 2.0 conventions; base colour is f_dc).

PBR provenance. The source meshes are COLLADA (ALMA) and STL (Allegro), which carry no metallic/roughness data. Base colour comes from the mesh texture (ALMA) or the URDF material colour (Allegro, rgba .2 .2 .2 1 for the black parts), and normals come from the geometry. metallic = 0.0, roughness = 0.5, occlusion = 1 and emissive = 0 are assumed constant factors, not measured (Allegro PBR is entirely factor-based because STLs have no materials; ALMA is textured albedo plus the same constant factors).

Coordinate system and units

Metres, right-handed, URDF convention (x forward, y left, z up). Each splat.ply is in its link's frame (visual origin and mesh scale already applied). full_pbr.ply is in the root link frame (base for ALMA, allegro_hand_palm_link for Allegro) at zero joint angles.

Gaps

  • none Box/cylinder visuals are not baked. The Allegro BioTac soft base/tip meshes (link_3_soft_*.stl) are not available, so those 8 links only exist in real_splats/.

Licence

Gated, research use only. ANYmal D and DynaArm meshes (and the splats derived from them) belong to ANYbotics AG / the Robotic Systems Lab, ETH Zurich; the Robotiq gripper and RealSense D435 models belong to their vendors. The Allegro hand description (URDF, STLs) is by Wonik Robotics / SimLab under the BSD-style licence of allegro_hand_ros. No URDF or mesh files are distributed in this repository.
