- Articulation perception aims to recover the motion and structure of articulated objects (e.g., drawers and cupboards), and is fundamental to 3D scene understanding in robotics, simulation, and animation. Existing learning-based methods rely heavily on supervised training with high-quality 3D data and manual annotations, limiting scalability and diversity. To address this limitation, we propose PAWS, a method that directly extracts object articulations from hand-object interactions in large-scale in-the-wild egocentric videos. We evaluate our method on the public data sets, including HD-EPIC and Arti4D data sets, achieving significant improvements over baselines. We further demonstrate that the extracted articulations benefit downstream tasks, including fine-tuning 3D articulation prediction models and enabling robot manipulation.
