WorldMirror: Agentic Real-to-Sim Generation of Interactive Worlds from In-the-Wild Robot Demonstrations

WorldMirror is a real‑to‑sim framework that builds interactive digital twins from real‑world robot demonstrations by iteratively refining an executable world program. A coding agent decomposes the observed scene, plans reconstruction steps, and coordinates image and 3D generation tools, using verification feedback to correct errors. The resulting camera‑pose‑anchored scene representation preserves spatial relationships and enables physically consistent interaction and trajectory replay, as shown on the DROID dataset.

Agentic Real2Sim: Physics-based World Modeling with Vision-Language Agents

arXiv:2607. 19190v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-to-sim conversion for robotic interaction with objects remains labor-intensive because it requires more than visual reconstruction: a streamlined real2sim process must recover scene geometries and object states, infer physical parameters, and assemble actors, objects, cameras, poses, and trajectories into a runnable physical simulation.

3D Generation for Embodied AI and Robotic Simulation: A Survey

The paper surveys 3D generation techniques tailored for embodied AI and robotics, emphasizing that beyond visual realism, generated content must include kinematic structure, material properties, and interaction capabilities. It categorizes the literature into three roles: Data Generator, Simulation Environments, and Sim2Real Bridge, each addressing different needs in training and deployment. The survey highlights a shift toward interaction readiness and identifies key bottlenecks such as limited physical annotations, quality gaps, fragmented evaluation, and the sim‑to‑real divide.

RoboDream: Compositional World Models for Scalable Robot Data Synthesis

Scaling robot learning requires large-scale, diverse demonstrations, yet real-world data collection via teleoperation remains prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. While video diffusion models offer a promising avenue for data scaling, existing generative approaches are often limited to superficial visual augmentation, or suffer from embodiment hallucinations that yield physically infeasible motions.

Pose6DAug: Physically Plausible Multi-view Object Swapping for Robot Data Augmentation

arXiv:2606. 20118v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) policies have shown strong potential for general-purpose manipulation, yet they often fail on novel, out-of-distribution objects whose appearance or geometry deviates from the training distribution.
