Abstract
Vision-language perception has achieved impressive progress in aligning natural language with visual observations, yet grounding high-level semantics into part-level physical interaction remains challenging. To address this gap, we propose UniRAP, a unified model for inferring part-level physical affordances and mapping language instructions to actionable geometric representations. UniRAP formulates this problem as a conditional multimodal generation task, integrating visual inputs, textual instructions, and optional prompts into a shared spatiotemporal representation space through a unified interface token mechanism. To predict executable contact geometry, we introduce a Unified Affordance Decoder (UAD), which jointly performs object detection, part-level affordance segmentation, and 4-DoF interaction pose estimation by leveraging intermediate segmentation features. In addition, we propose a curriculum-based transfer training strategy that progressively adapts the model from general visual parsing to interaction-aware perception, improving data efficiency under limited textual annotations. Experiments show that UniRAP achieves state-of-the-art performance on referring expression segmentation, affordance grounding, and interaction pose estimation, while maintaining strong spatiotemporal consistency in dynamic video scenarios. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of UniRAP as a unified perception framework for language-guided physical manipulation.
