Editable Visual Design

Editable Visual Design introduces a new design paradigm that combines a Coding Agent with a Vision‑Language Model (VLM) and an image generation model. The VLM acts as the creative brain, understanding requirements, planning tasks, and judging aesthetics, while the image generator produces isolated visual assets on demand. The agent follows an "imagine first, then act" workflow, generating assets, writing native HTML/CSS, and refining the design through visual feedback, ultimately producing editable, layer‑wise artifacts with real text that can be adjusted via a graphical interface.

ControlTac: Scaling Tactile Data with Physically Controlled Tactile Image Generation

ControlTac is a two‑stage framework that generates realistic tactile images conditioned on a single reference image, contact force, and contact pose. By incorporating these physical priors, it produces realistic samples across different sensors and captures task‑relevant variations. Experiments in object insertion, imitation learning, and object weighting show that datasets augmented with ControlTac consistently improve performance in dynamic real‑world settings.

A 3D-Printable Dataset for Fair Testing and Comparisons of Tactile Sensors

arXiv:2606. 25886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing texture datasets for tactile sensing primarily consist of sensor readings from a specific sensor interacting with available surfaces/objects rather than describing the textures themselves, limiting fair comparison between tactile sensors and hindering reproducible research.

DreamCAD: Scaling Multi-modal CAD Generation using Differentiable Parametric Surfaces

arXiv:2603. 05607v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) relies on structured and editable geometric representations, yet existing generative methods are constrained by small annotated datasets with explicit design histories or boundary representation (BRep) labels.
