Creative Robot Tool Use by Counterfactual Reasoning
M. Tuluhan Akbulut, Varun Satheesh, Ahmed Jaafar +5
We propose a causal reasoning framework for creative robot tool use where a suitable tool for a task is correctly identified for use beyond its primary objectives. The proposed fra…
Residual Primitive Fitting of 3D Shapes with SuperFrusta
Aditya Ganeshan, Matheus Gadelha, Thibault Groueix +5
We introduce a framework for converting 3D shapes into compact and editable assemblies of analytic primitives, directly addressing the persistent trade-off between reconstruction f…
Procedural Scene Programs for Open-Universe Scene Generation: LLM-Free Error Correction via Program Search
Maxim Gumin, Do Heon Han, Seung Jean Yoo +6
Synthesizing 3D scenes from open-vocabulary text descriptions is a challenging, important, and recently-popular application. One of its critical subproblems is layout generation: g…
Imperative vs. Declarative Programming Paradigms for Open-Universe Scene Generation
Maxim Gumin, Do Heon Han, Seung Jean Yoo +5
Current methods for generating 3D scene layouts from text predominantly follow a declarative paradigm, where a Large Language Model (LLM) specifies high-level constraints that are…
MiGumi: Making Tightly Coupled Integral Joints Millable
Aditya Ganeshan, Kurt Fleischer, Wenzel Jakob +4
Traditional integral wood joints, despite their strength, durability, and elegance, remain rare in modern workflows due to the cost and difficulty of manual fabrication. CNC millin…
Pattern Analogies: Learning to Perform Programmatic Image Edits by Analogy
Aditya Ganeshan, Thibault Groueix, Paul Guerrero +3
Pattern images are everywhere in the digital and physical worlds, and tools to edit them are valuable. But editing pattern images is tricky: desired edits are often programmatic: s…
