Design-to-Plan is a large language model–based multi‑agent framework that automates end‑to‑end manufacturing process planning from 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings. The system uses an orchestrator to coordinate specialized agents for feature recognition, drawing analysis, context fusion, knowledge retrieval, process sequencing, tool selection, and report generation, integrating deterministic modules with LLM reasoning. Evaluation on 300 benchmark cases shows high success rates, strong tool selection accuracy, effective conflict detection, and reduced token usage, demonstrating the framework’s ability to produce consistent, traceable design‑to‑plan outputs.

arXiv:2606. 31252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can write plausible CAD scripts, but reliable industrial CAD modeling requires more than syntactically valid code: every feature, placement, and assembly relation must be accepted by an exact geometric kernel while remaining editable as parametric boundary representation geometry.

Physical Agentic AI proposes an architecture that links semantic planning with physical execution for robot crews. Each robot exposes a typed skill library, while a foundation model planner decomposes tasks into phases and assigns robot‑skill pairs. A Robot Orchestrator validates and authorizes one skill at a time, ensuring actions are grounded in robot capabilities, system state, and workflow constraints before actuation.

The paper introduces URAI, a Universal Robot‑Agent Interface that separates robot control into two roles: a programming agent that writes reusable, task‑specific tools from intent, and an execution agent that calls these tools in a feedback loop. This design keeps high‑level decision making in the model while delegating low‑level motion to code, allowing tool revisions to persist across episodes without retraining the foundation model. Experiments on RoboDojo and AgileX tasks show significant gains in success rate, speed, and token efficiency compared to direct fingertip control and pre‑written programs.

Procedura is a new 3D modeling agent that treats 3D shape as code, using a large language model to generate a procedural assembly from a text prompt. It constructs an assembly graph, writes a parametric program with named parts and typed mates, and verifies each part through compile, mate, and connectivity checks before adding it. A vision critic refines the assembly step‑by‑step, and the resulting program includes per‑part materials and simulator‑validated articulation, producing sharp edges and editable, part‑structured outputs that outperform existing native 3D generators on P3D‑Bench and MechBench‑36.

VisCAD is a foundation model suite that tackles AI-assisted computer-aided design for industrial products, covering both part-level and assembly-level generation. Its core component, VisCAD‑M1, is a 27B model trained for part-level design generation and outperforms existing models on PubCADBench and RealCADBench, achieving a part-level score of 0.5540 and reaching 0.5797 when used as a test-time verifier. VisCAD also offers a domain-specific harness that improves complex assembly generation compared to general-purpose harnesses, showing quantitative and qualitative advantages.

The paper introduces STEP, a State‑Aware Task Estimator and Planner that uses multi‑modal large language models to explicitly estimate system states and predict state transitions during task planning. By forecasting future states alongside actions, STEP reduces hallucinated actions and improves task‑convergent planning. In a simulated robot assembly task, STEP outperforms the state‑of‑the‑art by 32.8% in action executability and 14.8% in final‑state error.
