SceneAgent is an agentic pipeline that transforms 3D and 4D visual captures—such as 3D Gaussian Splatting, photogrammetry, LiDAR, AI‑generated scenes, and dynamic 4D videos—into interactive simulation environments. It coordinates object reconstruction, physical modeling, part decomposition, articulation, and deformable simulation, and then generates diverse object variants and scripted demonstrations to support policy learning. In benchmark tests, SceneAgent outperforms SimFoundry on cluttered bin scenes and dramatically improves dynamic IoU on 4DCodeBench, while also enabling simulated interactions and preliminary real‑robot policy transfer.

TourPhysics is an online framework that builds physics‑grounded visual world models from a single image and a declarative physical configuration. It integrates deterministic simulation with video generation, separating simulator state, geometric evidence, generator controls, and appearance memory to produce consistent observations for exploration and manipulation. The system preserves the input scene, follows prescribed camera and object trajectories more closely than baselines, and reduces appearance drift during long‑horizon revisits.

arXiv:2606. 12936v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wet-lab robots can improve the reproducibility, throughput, and safety of biomedical experiments, but scaling their learning requires customizable simulators for safe and reproducible task generation, open editable laboratory assets, and efficient pipelines that turn limited demonstrations into usable training data.

The paper introduces 4DStreamCtrl, a system that unifies camera motion, object trajectories, and depth into a single 3D point‑track representation, enabling joint control, depth editing, and motion transfer in a single forward pass. By mining in‑the‑wild video for 3D motion supervision and encoding it with a lightweight Geometric Motion Head, the authors train a causal streaming student that can generate arbitrarily long videos in just four denoising steps, achieving 20 FPS on a single high‑end GPU for 480p video. This approach outperforms prior camera‑only, 2D, and offline‑3D methods in motion‑control precision while maintaining temporal coherence over hundreds of frames, thereby enabling interactive 4D‑controllable streaming generation for the first time.

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.
