HiWE is a hierarchical world knowledge model that enables zero‑shot 3D path planning by linking visual grounding with language‑based planning through a point‑based interface. It uses PointVLM to map task‑relevant objects to image coordinates, lifts these predictions into a semantic 3D representation with depth data, and then a language planner (3DLLM) generates end‑effector waypoints and gripper commands. The system is evaluated on 14 simulated manipulation tasks and four physical‑robot tasks, with ablations on visual training data, spatial inputs, and grasp selection.
arXiv:2606. 31200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalizable robotic grasping in cluttered environments is essential for deploying manipulators in unstructured human spaces, yet existing VLM-based methods rely on visual similarity for object matching, neglecting physical affordances such as handle graspability and material fragility, and operate open-loop without spatial reasoning or failure recovery, limiting their effectiveness when objects are densely packed or physically diverse.

AdaRoboVLG is a Vision‑Language‑Grasp framework that separates a generalizable base grasp policy from task‑specific understanding. The base policy generates and evaluates physically feasible grasp candidates using kinematic mapping and force‑closure stability, while foundation‑model modules supply composable spatial, cognitive, and temporal priors that adapt grasp synthesis to different robotic hands and environments without retraining. Experiments show strong cross‑hand generalization, effective handling of diverse grasping challenges, and functional grasping in cluttered, dynamic settings.
