The rapid progress of AI and robotics may profoundly transform society, as humans and robots begin to coexist in shared communities, bringing both opportunities and challenges. To explore this future, we present Virtual Community—an open-world platform for humans, robots, and society—built on a univ…
It is desired to equip robots with the capability of interacting with various soft materials as they are ubiquitous in the real world. While physics simulations are one of the predominant methods for data collection and robot training, simulating soft materials presents considerable challenges. Spec…
In this work, we focus on a novel task of category-level functional hand-object manipulation synthesis covering both rigid and articulated object categories. Given an object geometry, an initial human hand pose as well as a sparse control sequence of object poses, our goal is to generate a physicall…
