SonoWorld: Towards Interactive Pose-Controllable Ultrasound World Models
Robotic ultrasound can standardize image acquisition and reduce operator workload and variability, but policy learning remains limited by the lack of realistic, controllable simulation environments. While controllable world models have advanced rapidly in natural-image domains, ultrasound world modeling remains challenging because each frame captures only a cross-section of unobserved 3D anatomy, causing small probe motions to induce large appearance changes....
