The challenge of the 3D environments in the embodied AI
The creation of realistic 3D and scale environments is essential for the training and evaluation of the embodied AI. However, current methods are still based on manually designed 3D graphics, which are expensive and lack realism, thus limiting scalability and generalization. Unlike the Internet level data used in models such as GPT and Clip, embodied AI data is expensive, specific to the context and difficult to reuse. Reaching general intelligence in physical environment requires realistic simulations, learning to strengthen and various 3D assets. Although recent diffusion models and 3D generation techniques are promising, many still lack key characteristics such as physical precision, waterproof geometry and correct scale, which makes them inadequate for robotic training environments.
Limits of existing 3D generation techniques
The generation of 3D objects generally follows three main approaches: the generation of feeding background for fast results, methods based on optimization for high quality quality and reconstruction from several images. While recent techniques have improved realism by separating geometry and texture creation, many models always prioritize visual appearance compared to real physics. This makes them less suitable for simulations which require a precise scale and waterproof geometry. For 3D scenes, the panoramic techniques have allowed a full view, but they still lack interactivity. Although some tools are trying to improve simulation environments with generated assets, quality and diversity remain limited, not having complex research on embodied intelligence.
Presentation of the embodiedgen: open-source, modular and ready for simulation
Embodiedgen is an open source framework developed in collaboration by researchers from Horizon Robotics, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute and the Tsinghua University. It is designed to generate realistic and scalable 3D assets adapted to embodied AI tasks. The platform produces physically precise and waterproof 3D objects in URDF format, with metadata for simulation compatibility. With six modular components, including 3D image, 3D text, layout generation and object rearrangement, it allows a controllable and effective scene creation. Filling the gap between traditional 3D graphics and assets ready for robotics, Embedgen facilitates the evolutionary and profitable development of interactive environments for the search for embodied intelligence.
Key characteristics: Multimodal generation for rich 3D content
Embodiedgen is a versatile toolbox designed to generate realistic and interactive 3D environments adapted to embodied AI tasks. It combines several generation modules: transforming images or text into detailed 3D objects, creating articulated elements with mobile parts and generating various textures to improve visual quality. It also supports the complete construction of scenes by organizing these assets in a way that respects the physical properties and scale of the real world. The output is directly compatible with simulation platforms, which makes it easier and more affordable the creation of virtual worlds made. This system helps researchers effectively simulate real world scenarios without relying on costly manual modeling.
Integration of simulation and physical precision of the real world
Embodiedgen is a powerful and accessible platform that allows the generation of diversified and high quality 3D assets adapted to embodied intelligence research. It has several key modules that allow users to create active ingredients from images or text, generate articulated and textured objects and build realistic scenes. These assets are waterproof, photorealistic and physically precise, which makes them ideal for training and evaluation based on robotics simulation. The platform supports integration with popular simulation environments, in particular Opena Gym, Mujoco, Isaac Lab and Sapien, allowing researchers to effectively simulate tasks such as navigation, handling objects and avoidance of low-cost obstacles.
Robosplatter: High -fidelity 3DG rendering for simulation
A notable feature is Robosplatter, which brings an advanced Gaussian 3D (3DG) 3D rendering in physical simulations. Unlike traditional graphic pipelines, Robosplatter improves visual fidelity while reducing general calculation costs. Thanks to modules such as texture generation and real conversion to SIM, users can change the appearance of 3D assets or recreate real world scenes with high realism. Overall, Embodiedgen simplifies the creation of evolutionary and interactive interactive 3D worlds, fill the gap between real world robotics and digital simulation. It is openly available as a friendly toolbox to support a wider adoption and continuous innovation in the embodied AI research.
Why is this research important?
This research tackles a basic strangulation neck in the embodied AI: the lack of evolutionary, realistic and compatible 3D environments in physics for training and evaluation. Although the data on the Internet level has reduced progress in vision and language models, embodied intelligence requires ready -to -simulation assets with precise scale, geometry and interactivity – qualities are often missing in traditional 3D generation pipelines. Embodiedgen fills this gap by offering an open source modular platform capable of producing high-quality controllable 3D objects compatible with major robotics simulators. Its ability to convert text and images into physically plausible 3D environments in fact a fundamental tool to advance research on embodied AI, digital twins and real learning to SIM.
