- Jain, S., Choi, H.J., "Robotic manipulators excel in structured envi- ronments but face substantial challenges in unstructured and dynamic settings. This paper presents SplatCtrl, a unified framework for real-time scene reconstruction and reactive robot motion generation to enable collision-free robotic arm control in previously unseen and continuously changing environments. Building on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3D-GS), we introduce a hybrid voxel-based filtering and dynamic Gaussian relocation strategy that supports efficient scene reconstruction from RGB- D streams while accommodating environmental changes. For safe and reactive control, we further propose a method for deriving continuous signed distance functions from isotropic Gaussians, providing stable and differentiable collision prob- ability estimates that bridge classical distance fields with the modern implicit representation. These continuous distance met- rics are incorporated into control barrier functions, resulting in a unified perception–action coupling framework that supports smooth and reliable real-time motion generation in response to scene changes. Experimental validation in simulation, on physical robot, and within shared human–robot workspace demonstrates the framework’s effectiveness, achieving inte- grated scene reconstruction and reactive control in uncertain, and dynamic environments.", 2026 IEEE International Conference on Robotics & Automation (ICRA), June 2026.
