arXiv:2606. 15015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physics-grounded video generation requires controllable 3D object dynamics that remain physically consistent under contact, deformation, and external forcing.
Recent advances in image-to-video generation have improved visual realism, making physically grounded and controllable dynamics an important step toward future world simulation. Current models often generate plausible motion, but it is not reliably governed by explicit physical causes, and instance-level constraints can leak or become entangled in multi-object interactions.

PhysPlan is a training‑free guidance framework that enhances video diffusion models by incorporating physical awareness through agentic physics simulation. It uses a vision‑language model to generate a Chain‑of‑Visual‑Thought representation of kinematic trajectories and 3D depth, which then drives an object‑centric test‑time optimization that isolates kinematic changes and locks the passive environment. The framework also employs Kinetic Intensity Profiling to adapt hyperparameters to varying physical deformations, and demonstrates superior performance on PhyGenBench and Physics‑IQ benchmarks compared to existing VDM baselines.

arXiv:2608. 05948v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics engines facilitate large-scale training and evaluation for embodied intelligence, while generative video world models are emerging as implicit simulators of future states and interactions.
Physics engines facilitate large-scale training and evaluation for embodied intelligence, while generative video world models are emerging as implicit simulators of future states and interactions. However, existing evaluations of physical fidelity are often conducted in isolation and rely heavily on perceptual similarity or human judgments, providing limited insight into which physical principles or parameters are violated.
CompAdapt is a physics-consistent text-to-video generation framework that extends diffusion-based models to handle composite physical behaviors such as coupled motions, multi-stage transitions, and multi-object collisions. It translates natural language prompts into structured physical semantics, enabling end-to-end specification of motion types, temporal relations, and initial parameters. The system introduces dynamics-aware prior matching for one-shot adaptation to new physical environments and a physics-aware latent feature fusion module to enhance visual fidelity during fast, complex motion, outperforming existing physics-constrained baselines on physics-focused T2V benchmarks.
