3D-RFT: Reinforcement Fine-Tuning for Video-based 3D Scene Understanding

arXiv:2603. 04976v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards ( RLVR ) has emerged as a transformative paradigm for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models ( LLMs), yet its potential in 3D scene understanding remains under-explored.

ScenePilot: Grow-and-Repair Policy for Text-Driven 3D Indoor Scene Generation

ScenePilot introduces a retrieval‑augmented Grow‑and‑Repair framework for text‑driven 3D indoor scene generation. It uses a Hierarchical Retrieval‑Augmented Planning module to fetch room, group, and anchor layout priors, then incrementally inserts object groups with a base generator, while a Reinforcement Multimodal Repair module performs lightweight local corrections after each insertion and a final global repair. The approach is trained on a new SceneReverse‑17k dataset of perturbed scenes, enabling the policy to predict structured move‑rotate‑scale actions from rendered views, scene state, retrieved priors, and edit history, thereby improving physical plausibility, functional coherence, and controllability without heavy full‑scene optimization.

Cortex: A Bidirectionally Aligned Embodied Agent Framework for Long-horizon Manipulation

arXiv:2607. 05377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models show promise toward generalist manipulation policies, they struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their Markovian nature-relying solely on current observations.

Decoupling Planning and Control for Instructable Agents

The paper introduces Instruct-to-Act, a system that decouples planning and control by combining a vision‑language model (VLM) planner with a world‑model controller. The VLM generates sparse, high‑level text instructions, while the controller executes them at high frequency, trained via relabeling rollouts with synthetic instructions and joint optimization of behavior cloning, reward, and world‑model objectives. Across seven embodied environments—including multi‑agent settings—this approach outperforms controller‑only and direct VLM action methods, maintains fast control, and allows swapping pretrained VLM planners without fine‑tuning, achieving competitive results with strong baselines on most tasks.

4DSynth: Controllable Procedural World Synthesis for Dynamic Embodied Simulation

4DSynth is a controllable procedural system that transforms natural-language descriptions, blueprint masks, or single photographs into editable 4D environments featuring explicit geometry, animated actors, collision-free trajectories, and physics-ready simulation states. The system unifies animation, camera planning, rendering, and task generation within a single geometry-grounded representation, enabling scalable creation of dynamic embodied simulation scenes. Using 4DSynth, the authors built 4DSynth-Nav, an interactive navigation benchmark that demonstrates the reproducibility and tunability of procedural failures across vision‑language models.

Beyond Placement and Articulation: Usage-Driven Code Scenes for Embodied Interaction

The paper introduces RoomWright, a code‑driven framework that generates 3D indoor scenes for embodied AI by focusing on functional usage rather than just visual layout. It performs usage‑driven object reasoning, treating anchors as task centers to select task‑required objects and their affordances, and compiles interactions into trigger‑condition‑effect rules that update object states. The system also addresses ambiguous object orientation through annotation‑guided usage cues, producing scenes that are executable, editable, and ready for simulation‑based policy learning.
