arXiv:2509. 10317v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The article describes the development of a hybrid social robot control architecture to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches, where behavior scripts manually synchronize the robot's actions and text, and existing methods focus primarily on short dialogue responses.

arXiv:2608. 04037v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing narrative-grounded interactive experiences remains labor-intensive because interactive content must align with the underlying world implied by the narrative.

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.

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 diverse, interactive scenes. Using 4DSynth, the authors built 4DSynth-Nav, an interactive navigation benchmark that demonstrates the reproducibility of failures and tunable difficulty across three tiers for vision‑language models.

Short dramas, with their rapid shot rhythms, dialogue-driven focus shifts, and demanding cinematographic grounding, pose challenges that prompt-level or text-only video generation pipelines struggle to meet. We study plot-to-short-drama generation, where a global plot and local context are transformed into visually grounded multi-shot videos.
Large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) are expanding the range of behaviors that can be represented in agent-based simulations, but many contemporary platforms are difficult to...
