The paper introduces 3DWay, a method that predicts 3D-consistent waypoints for robot manipulation by first generating multi‑view consistent 2D waypoints and then triangulating them. This approach addresses the 3D ambiguity inherent in 2D trajectory predictions and leverages pretrained vision‑language models to provide explicit 3D motion specifications. Experiments demonstrate that 3DWay improves 3D spatial grounding and vision‑language reasoning, enhancing generalization for robot manipulation tasks.
