The key challenge in articulated 3D object generation from a single image is accurately predicting the underlying kinematic structure. Existing methods either infer kinematic parameters directly from a static image that lacks dynamic part-level kinematic relationships, or estimate parameters from visual dynamics generated from a single image, which is prone to accumulated errors of two steps. Moreover, the limited scale and diversity of existing annotated datasets further hinder generalization to complex, real-world objects. To overcome these limitations, we propose to learn the joint distribution of visual dynamics and kinematic parameters. Recognizing that articulated objects can be formulated as dynamic systems, we propose a unified Part World Model called PWM-ArtGen. To leverage unannotated data, this model couples action diffusion and image diffusion with independent diffusion timesteps, which enables visual branch co-training. We further curate a photorealistic dataset of 19.7k part-level image pairs without kinematic annotations, to support co-training. Experiments demonstrate that PWM-ArtGen substantially outperforms existing baselines in the resting state and exhibits strong zero-shot generalization to out-of-distribution objects.
Driving-world generation has emerged as a core capability for scalable autonomous-driving simulation, yet existing methods remain limited in object-level controllability and long-horizon stability. We present M$^\text{4}$World, a Multi-view and Multimodal generative driving world…
Modeling motion for articulated objects of arbitrary skeleton topology remains difficult: existing motion generators target a fixed human skeleton, and prior adaptations either fail to share a vocabulary across rigs or discard motion detail through global pooling. Our key observa…
Open-World Object Detection (OWOD) requires detectors to identify previously unseen objects as unknown and incrementally incorporate them into the set of known categories, while preserving previously acquired knowledge. Existing frameworks rely heavily on exemplar replay to mitig…
Manipulating fast and dynamically moving targets in unstructured 3D environments remains challenging for embodied AI. Existing visual-language-action models and world models struggle with accurate 3D geometry and physically meaningful forecasting. We propose PhysMani, a framework…
World models aim to capture environment dynamics in ways that support perception, reasoning, and action, and have recently become a central direction in Vision-Language-Action-World (VLAW) modeling. Meanwhile, unified vision-language models have demonstrated strong multimodal gen…
Predicting object dynamics (i.e., world modeling) is a fundamental challenge for robotic manipulation, and modeling deformable objects presents a particularly difficult case due to their high-dimensional state spaces and complex material properties. While current world models app…
