Recent generative video models achieve impressive visual quality but remain constrained by limited physical consistency and controllability. Existing video generation methods provide minimal physical control, and single-image-to-3D conversion approaches often suffer from object interpenetration. Furthermore, physics-based scene-level 3D generation methods exhibit spatial misalignment, stylized artifacts, and inconsistencies with the input data, restricting their use in realistic interactive video synthesis. We propose TelePhysics, a training-free framework that converts a single image into a physically consistent and controllable video through holistic scene-level 3D reconstruction. By representing the full scene geometry in a unified spatial coordinate system, TelePhysics resolves object penetration and alignment ambiguity. Unlike prior methods, this formulation enables accurate scenelevel multi-object interactions and introduces richer, complex control types for advanced mechanicsbased manipulation. By decoupling simulation from rendering, TelePhysics bypasses latency-heavy priors, achieving real-time physical interaction previews paired while preserving photorealistic visual fidelity. Experimental results demonstrate that TelePhysics substantially outperforms prior methods in physical fidelity, spatial coherence, and controllability.

Street-view imagery (SVI) is widely used to quantify key indicators of urban environment, such as green- ery, sky, or road view indices. However, existing studies largely focus on measuring current streetscapes and rarely support the generation of alternative and non-existing urban scenarios, which is a core task in geospatial disciplines such as urban planning and design. To address this gap, we propose a gener- ative multimodal AI framework that synthesizes alternative streetscapes conditioned on targeted visual metrics, enabling direct visual exploration of urban scenarios. We first construct a multimodal dataset that aligns SVIs with textual descriptions, segmentation maps, road masks, and quantitative metrics of visual elements in Chicago and Orlando. Using this dataset, we demonstrate that diffusion models can produce realistic and semantically consistent streetscape imagery while responding to both textual and imagery controls. Our quantitative evaluations show that incorporating visual controls can improve semantic consistency, reducing the LPIPS index by approximately 6% while maintaining global visual realism. In addition, overall semantic consistency increases by 23.7% in Orlando and 46.4% in Chicago, as measured by the mIoU index, with class-wise gains exceeding even 100% improvement for building view indices. Streetscape generation can be controlled in a fine-grained manner by both visual and textual prompts, and when textual and visual controls conflict, imagery controls consistently dominate, indicating a clear control hierarchy and the importance of further developing visual controls for urban scene generation. Overall, this work establishes an important benchmark for streetscape generation us- ing SVIs and diffusion models, and illustrates how generative AI can serve as a practical, scalable, and controllable approach for urban scenario exploration.

In this paper, we introduce \textit{DecoRec}, a novel system designed to elevate single-view 2D images to a decomposed 3D scene mesh. Current methods for single-view scene reconstruction typically rely on object retrieval or the regression of coarse 3D voxels or surfaces, leading to inaccuracies in capturing the appearance and geometry of the input image. The lack of high-quality large-scale scene-level datasets further complicates direct 3D scene generation from single-view images. To achieve high-quality 3D scene generation from a single-view image, DecoRec takes advantage of recent diffusion-based single-view object reconstruction methods to reconstruct individual objects separately. Subsequently, a refinement pipeline is proposed to effectively merge these reconstructed objects, enhancing appearance and geometry through a differentiable rendering technique and diffusion-guided refinement. Our results demonstrate that DecoRec facilitates high-quality single-view scene reconstruction in both geometry and novel synthesis, offering significant benefits for downstream applications like room interior design.

Generating simulation-ready tabletop scenes from task instructions is an intriguing and promising research direction in the field of Embodied AI. However, existing task-to-scene generation methods rely exclusively on large language models (LLMs) to predict scene layouts, inevitably yielding object collisions or floating due to LLMs' inherent limitations in 3D spatial reasoning. In this paper, we present STABLE, a semantics-physics dual-system tailored for simulation-ready tabletop scene generation. STABLE consists of two complementary modules: (i) a Semantic Reasoner, a fine-tuned LLM trained on a structured tabletop scene dataset to generate coarse layouts from input task instructions, and (ii) a Physics Corrector, a physics-aware flow-based denoising model that outputs pose updates to refine layouts, which ensures the physical plausibility of scenes while preserves semantic alignment with task instructions. STABLE adopts a progressive generation paradigm: by alternating between the Semantic Reasoner and Physics Corrector, it incrementally expands the scene from task-critical objects to background objects. Experiments demonstrate that STABLE successfully generates simulation-ready tabletop scenes that strictly conform to task instructions and significantly enhances the physical validity of scenes over prior art.

Generating a street-level 3D scene from a single satellite image is a crucial yet challenging task. Current methods present a stark trade-off: geometry-colorization models achieve high geometric fidelity but are typically building-focused and lack semantic diversity. In contrast, proxy-based models use feed-forward image-to-3D frameworks to generate holistic scenes by jointly learning geometry and texture, a process that yields rich content but coarse and unstable geometry. We attribute these geometric failures to the extreme viewpoint gap and sparse, inconsistent supervision inherent in satellite-to-street data. We introduce Sat3DGen to address these fundamental challenges, which embodies a geometry-first methodology. This methodology enhances the feed-forward paradigm by integrating novel geometric constraints with a perspective-view training strategy, explicitly countering the primary sources of geometric error. This geometry-centric strategy yields a dramatic leap in both 3D accuracy and photorealism. For validation, we first constructed a new benchmark by pairing the VIGOR-OOD test set with high-resolution DSM data. On this benchmark, our method improves geometric RMSE from 6.76m to 5.20m. Crucially, this geometric leap also boosts photorealism, reducing the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) from $\sim$40 to 19 against the leading method, Sat2Density++, despite using no extra tailored image-quality modules. We demonstrate the versatility of our high-quality 3D assets through diverse downstream applications, including semantic-map-to-3D synthesis, multi-camera video generation, large-scale meshing, and unsupervised single-image Digital Surface Model (DSM) estimation. The code has been released on this https URL.

LiDAR scene generation is increasingly important for scalable simulation and synthetic data creation, especially under diverse sensing conditions that are costly to capture at scale. Typically, diffusion-based LiDAR generators are developed under single-domain settings, requiring separate models for different datasets or sensing conditions and hindering unified, controllable synthesis under heterogeneous distribution shifts. To this end, we present OmniLiDAR, a unified text-conditioned diffusion framework that generates LiDAR scans in a shared range-image representation across eight representative domains spanning three shift types: adverse weather, sensor-configuration changes (e.g., reduced beams), and cross-platform acquisition (vehicle, drone, and quadruped). To enable training a single model over heterogeneous domains without isolating optimization by domain, we introduce a Cross-Domain Training Strategy (CDTS) that mixes domains within each mini-batch and leverages conditioning to steer generation. We further propose Cross-Domain Feature Modeling (CDFM), which captures directional dependencies along azimuth and elevation axes to reflect the anisotropic scanning structure of range images, and Domain-Adaptive Feature Scaling (DAFS) as a lightweight modulation to account for structured domain-dependent feature shifts during denoising. In the absence of a public consolidated benchmark, we construct an 8-domain dataset by combining real-world scans with physically based weather simulation and systematic beam reduction while following official splits. Extensive experiments demonstrate strong generation fidelity and consistent gains in downstream use cases, including generative data augmentation for LiDAR semantic segmentation and 3D object detection, as well as robustness evaluation under corruptions, with consistent benefits in limited-label regimes.

In recent years, autonomous driving has significantly in creased the demand for high-quality data to train 2D and 3D perception models for safety-critical scenarios. Real world datasets struggle to meet this demand as require ments continuously evolve and large-scale annotated data collection remains costly and time-consuming making syn thetic data a scalable, practical and controllable alterna tive. Pedestrian detection is among the most safety-critical tasks in autonomous driving. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method for scaling variability in 3D pedestrian assets for synthetic scene generation. Starting from a single 3D base asset, we generate multiple distinct pedestrian instances by synthesizing diverse facial textures and identity-level appearance variations using StyleGAN2 and automatically mapping them onto 3D meshes. This ap proach enables scalable appearance-level asset diversifica tion without requiring the design of new geometries for each instance. Using the assets, we construct synthetic datasets and study the impact of mixing real and synthetic data for RGB-based object detection. Through complementary ex periments, we analyze geometry-driven distribution shifts in point cloud perception for 3D object detection. Our findings demonstrate that controlled synthetic diversifica tion improves robustness in 2D detection while revealing the sensitivity of 3D perception models to geometric domain gaps. Overall, this work highlights how generative AI en ables scalable, simulation-ready pedestrian diversification through controlled facial texture synthesis, along with the benefits and limitations of cross-domain training strategies in autonomous driving pipelines.

Generating controllable and physically plausible indoor scenes is a pivotal prerequisite for constructing high-fidelity simulation environments for embodied AI. However, existing deeplearning-based methods usually treat all objects as homogeneous instances within a unified generation process. While effective for sparse and simplistic layouts, they struggle to model realistic layouts with dense object arrangements and complex spatial dependencies, leadingto limited scalability and degraded physical plausibility. To deal with these challenges, we revisit indoor layout generation from the perspective of structural heterogeneity and decompose the objects into primary objects and secondary objects according to their distinct roles in shaping a scene. Based on this decomposition, we propose HetScene, a heterogeneous two-stage generation framework that decouples indoor layout synthesis into Structural Layout Generation (SLG) and Contextual Layout Generation (CLG). SLG first generates globally coherent structural layouts with only primary objects conditioned on text descriptions, top-down binary room masks, and spatial relation graphs, establishing a stable global macro-skeleton of large core furniture.

Recent advances in Gaussian Splatting have enabled fast, high-fidelity 3D scene generation, yet these methods remain purely visual and lack an understanding of how shapes behave in the physical world. We introduce Physics-Guided 3D Gaussian Splatting (PG-3DGS), a framework that couples differentiable physics simulation with 3D Gaussian representations to generate 3D structures satisfying physics functionalities. By allowing physical objectives to guide the shape optimization process alongside visual losses, our approach produces geometries that are not only photometrically accurate but also physically functional. The model learns to adjust shapes so that the generated objects exhibit physically meaningful behaviors, for example, teapots that can pour and airplanes that can generate lift, without sacrificing visual quality. Experiments on pouring and aerodynamic lift tasks show that PG-3DGS improves physical functionality while preserving visual quality. In addition to simulation gains, bench-top physical lift tests with 3D-printed aircraft (Cessna, B-2 Spirit, and paper plane) under identical airflow conditions show higher scale-measured lift for PG-3DGS, generated structures than an appearance-matching baseline in all three cases. Our unified framework connects appearance-based reconstruction with physics-based reasoning, enabling end-to-end generation of 3D structures that both look realistic and function correctly.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) generation remains challenging for generative models, which are largely limited to low dynamic range outputs. Recent diffusionbased approaches approximate HDR by generating multiple exposure-conditioned samples, incurring high computational cost and structural inconsistencies across exposures. We propose LatentHDR, a framework that decouples scene generation from exposure modeling in latent space. A pretrained diffusion backbone produces a single coherent scene representation, while a lightweight conditional latent to-latent head deterministically maps it to exposure-specific representations. This enables the generation of a dense, structurally consistent exposure stack in a single pass. This design eliminates multi-pass diffusion, ensures cross-exposure alignment, and enables scalable HDR synthesis. LatentHDR supports both textand image-conditioned HDR generation for perspective and panoramic scenes. Experiments on synthetic data and the SI-HDR benchmark show that LatentHDR achieves state-of-the-art dynamic range with competitive perceptual quality, while reducing computation by an order of magnitude. Our results demonstrate that high-quality HDR generation can be achieved through structured latent modeling, challenging the need for stochastic multi-exposure generation.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising paradigm for end-to-end autonomous driving. However, existing reasoning mechanisms still struggle to provide planning-oriented intermediate representations: textual Chain-of-Thought (CoT) fails to preserve continuous spatiotemporal structure, while latent world reasoning remains difficult to use as a direct condition for action generation. In this paper, we propose CoWorld-VLA, a multi-expert world reasoning framework for autonomous driving, where world representations serve as explicit conditions to guide action planning. CoWorld-VLA extracts complementary world information through multi-source supervision and encodes it into expert tokens within the VLA, thereby providing planner-accessible conditioning signals. Specifically, we construct four types of tokens: semantic interaction, geometric structure, dynamic evolution, and ego trajectory tokens, which respectively model interaction intent, spatial structure, future temporal dynamics, and behavioral goals. During action generation, CoWorld-VLA employs a diffusion-based hierarchical multi-expert fusion planner, which is coupled with scene context throughout the joint denoising process to generate continuous ego trajectories. Experiments show that CoWorld-VLA achieves competitive results in both future scene generation and planning on the NAVSIM v1 benchmark, demonstrating strong performance in collision avoidance and trajectory accuracy. Ablation studies further validate the complementarity of expert tokens and their effectiveness as planning conditions for action generation. Code will be available at this https URL.

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have significantly improved language-driven 3D content generation, but most existing approaches still treat scene generation and user interaction as separate processes, limiting the adaptability and immersive potential of interactive multimedia systems. This paper presents a unified framework that closes the loop between language-driven 3D scene generation and immersive user interaction. Given natural language instructions, the system first constructs structured scene representations using LLMs, and then optimizes spatial layouts via reinforcement learning under geometric and semantic constraints. The generated environments are deployed in a virtual reality setting to facilitate HRI-in-the-loop, where user interactions provide continuous feedback to align generated content with human perception and usability. By tightly coupling generation and interaction, the proposed framework enables more responsive, adaptive, and realistic multimedia experiences. Experiments on the ALFRED benchmark demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in task-based scene generation. Furthermore, qualitative results and user studies show consistent improvements in immersion, interaction quality, and task efficiency, highlighting the importance of closed-loop integration of generation and interaction for next-generation multimedia systems.

Autonomous 3D indoor scene synthesis breaks down in non-convex rooms with tightly coupled spatial constraints. Data-driven generators lack topological priors for long-horizon planning, while iterative agents fragment semantics and become geometrically brittle. We present ZoneMaestro, a unified framework that shifts the paradigm from object-centric synthesis to Zone-Graph Orchestration. By internalizing a novel zone-based logic, ZoneMaestro translates high-level semantic intent into functional zones and topological constraints, enabling robust adaptation to diverse architectural forms. To support this, we construct Zone-Scene-10K, a large-scale dataset enriched with explicit Zone-Graph annotations. We further introduce an Alternating Alignment Strategy that cycles between reasoning internalization and Zone-Aware Group Relative Policy Optimization (Z-GRPO), effectively reconciling the tension between semantic richness and geometric validity without relying on external physics engines. To rigorously evaluate spatial intelligence beyond convex primitives, we formally define the task of Intricate Spatial Orchestration and release SCALE, a stress-test benchmark for irregular indoor scenarios with complex, dense spatial relations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ZoneMaestro resolves the density-safety dichotomy, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art baselines in both structural coherence and intent adherence.

Automated laboratories hold the promise of accelerating scientific discovery, yet their deployment is bottlenecked by the difficulty of designing safe and executable environments. While simulator-based design offers scalability, existing 3D scene generation methods are primarily tailored for household settings, optimizing for visual plausibility while neglecting the rigorous functional semantics and safety constraints essential for scientific experimentation. We present LabBuilder, an end-to-end system that generates and verifies 3D laboratory layouts from concise textual specifications. It operates through three tightly coupled components: LabForge first curates a meta-dataset of annotated assets and chemical knowledge, translating natural language specifications into structured protocols; building on these protocols, LabGen synthesizes laboratory layouts via an iterative, constraint-aware optimization strategy; finally, LabTouchstone evaluates the resulting layouts as a unified benchmark. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LabBuilder significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, producing laboratory environments that are not only realistic but also functionally valid and safe for complex experimental workflows.

3D world generation is essential for applications such as immersive content creation or autonomous driving simulation. Recent advances in 3D world generation have shown promising results; however, these methods are constrained by grid layouts and suffer from inconsistencies in object scale throughout the entire world. In this work, we introduce a novel framework, Map2World, that first enables 3D world generation conditioned on user-defined segment maps of arbitrary shapes and scales, ensuring global-scale consistency and flexibility across expansive environments. To further enhance the quality, we propose a detail enhancer network that generates fine details of the world. The detail enhancer enables the addition of fine-grained details without compromising overall scene coherence by incorporating global structure information. We design the entire pipeline to leverage strong priors from asset generators, achieving robust generalization across diverse domains, even under limited training data for scene generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing approaches in user-controllability, scale consistency, and content coherence, enabling users to generate 3D worlds under more complex conditions.

Driving world models serve as a pivotal technology for autonomous driving by simulating environmental dynamics. However, existing approaches predominantly focus on future scene generation, often overlooking comprehensive 3D scene understanding. Conversely, while Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive reasoning capabilities, they lack the capacity to predict future geometric evolution, creating a significant disparity between semantic interpretation and physical simulation. To bridge this gap, we propose HERMES++, a unified driving world model that integrates 3D scene understanding and future geometry prediction within a single framework. Our approach addresses the distinct requirements of these tasks through synergistic designs. First, a BEV representation consolidates multi-view spatial information into a structure compatible with LLMs. Second, we introduce LLM-enhanced world queries to facilitate knowledge transfer from the understanding branch. Third, a Current-to-Future Link is designed to bridge the temporal gap, conditioning geometric evolution on semantic context. Finally, to enforce structural integrity, we employ a Joint Geometric Optimization strategy that integrates explicit geometric constraints with implicit latent regularization to align internal representations with geometry-aware priors. Extensive evaluations on multiple benchmarks validate the effectiveness of our method. HERMES++ achieves strong performance, outperforming specialist approaches in both future point cloud prediction and 3D scene understanding tasks. The model and code will be publicly released at this https URL.

Automatically generating interactive 3D indoor scenes from natural language is crucial for virtual reality, gaming, and embodied AI. However, existing LLM-based approaches often suffer from spatial errors and collisions, in part because common scene representations-raw coordinates or verbose code-are difficult for models to reason about 3D spatial relationships and physical constraints. We propose SpatialGrammar, a domain-specific language that represents gravity-aligned indoor layouts as BEV grid placements with deterministic compilation to valid 3D geometry, enabling verifiable constraint checking. Building on this representation, we develop (1) SG-Agent, a closed-loop system that uses compiler feedback to iteratively refine scenes and enforce collision constraints, and (2) SG-Mini, a 104M-parameter model trained entirely on compiler-validated synthetic data. Across 159 test scenes spanning five scenarios of different complexity, SG-Agent improves spatial fidelity and physical plausibility over prior methods, while SG-Mini performs competitively against larger LLM-based baselines on single-shot generation scenarios.

Synthesizing realistic 3D indoor scenes remains challenging due to data scarcity and the difficulty of simultaneously enforcing global architectural constraints and local semantic consistency. Existing approaches often overlook structural boundaries or rely on fully connected relation graphs that introduce redundant generation errors. Inspired by human design cognition, we present CasLayout, a cascaded diffusion framework that decomposes the joint scene generation task into four conditional sub-stages with explicit physical and semantic roles: (1) predicting furniture quantity and categories, (2) refining object sizes and feature embeddings, (3) modeling spatial relationships in a latent space, and (4) generating Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBBs). This decoupled architecture reduces data requirements and enables flexible integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs) for zero-shot tasks such as image-to-scene generation. To maintain physical validity within complex floor plans, we explicitly model building elements (e.g., walls, doors, and windows) as conditional constraints. Furthermore, to address the high entropy of dense relation graphs, we introduce a sparse relation graph formulation aligned with human spatial descriptions. By encoding these sparse graphs into a compact latent space using a bidirectional Variational Autoencoder (VAE), the proposed framework provides enhanced relational controllability, allowing generated layouts to better respect functional organization. Experiments demonstrate that CasLayout achieves state-of-the-art performance in fidelity and diversity while enabling improved controllability in practical applications.

Accurately reconstructing complex full multi-object scenes from sparse observations remains a core challenge in computer vision and a key step toward scalable and reliable simulation for robotics. In this work, we introduce RecGen, a generative framework for probabilistic joint estimation of object and part shapes, as well as their pose under occlusion and partial visibility from one or multiple RGB-D images. By leveraging compositional synthetic scene generation and strong 3D shape priors, RecGen generalizes across diverse object types and real-world environments. RecGen achieves state-of-the-art performance on complex, heavily occluded datasets, robustly handling severe occlusions, symmetric objects, object parts, and intricate geometry and texture. Despite using nearly 80% fewer training meshes than the previous state of the art SAM3D, RecGen outperforms it by 30.1% in geometric shape quality, 9.1% in texture reconstruction, and 33.9% in pose estimation.

Embodied AI and robotic systems increasingly depend on scalable, diverse, and physically grounded 3D content for simulation-based training and real-world deployment. While 3D generative modeling has advanced rapidly, embodied applications impose requirements far beyond visual realism: generated objects must carry kinematic structure and material properties, scenes must support interaction and task execution, and the resulting content must bridge the gap between simulation and reality. This survey presents the first survey of 3D generation for embodied AI and organizes the literature around three roles that 3D generation plays in embodied systems. In \emph{Data Generator}, 3D generation produces simulation-ready objects and assets, including articulated, physically grounded, and deformable content for downstream interaction; in \emph{Simulation Environments}, it constructs interactive and task-oriented worlds, spanning structure-aware, controllable, and agentic scene generation; and in \emph{Sim2Real Bridge}, it supports digital twin reconstruction, data augmentation, and synthetic demonstrations for downstream robot learning and real-world transfer. We also show that the field is shifting from visual realism toward interaction readiness, and we identify the main bottlenecks, including limited physical annotations, the gap between geometric quality and physical validity, fragmented evaluation, and the persistent sim-to-real divide, that must be addressed for 3D generation to become a dependable foundation for embodied intelligence.
