The paper introduces RoomWright, a code‑driven framework that generates 3D indoor scenes for embodied AI by focusing on functional usage rather than just visual layout. It performs usage‑driven object reasoning, treating anchors as task centers to select task‑required objects and their affordances, and compiles interactions into trigger‑condition‑effect rules that update object states. The system also addresses ambiguous object orientation through annotation‑guided usage cues, producing scenes that are executable, editable, and ready for simulation‑based policy learning.
HARMONY is a hierarchical chain-of-thought framework that reconstructs complete 3D indoor scenes from a single monocular image. It combines agentic reasoning with visual geometry foundation models, starting with camera calibration and semantic layout recovery, then placing objects hierarchically while refining geometry with point cloud estimations. The method achieves semantically consistent scenes that align perceptually with the input image, outperforming existing baselines on synthetic and real-world data.

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.
