PAT3D: Physics-Augmented Text-to-3D Scene Generation

ICLR 2026poster

We introduce PAT3D, the first physics-augmented text-to-3D scene generation framework that integrates vision–language models with physics-based simulation to produce physically plausible, simulation-ready, and intersection-free 3D scenes. Given a text prompt, PAT3D generates 3D objects, infers their…

Efficient Learning of Mesh-Based Physical Simulation with Bi-Stride Multi-Scale Graph Neural Network

ICML 2023poster

Learning the long-range interactions on large-scale mesh-based physical systems with flat Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and stacking Message Passings (MPs) is challenging due to the scaling complexity w.r.t. the number of nodes and over-smoothing. Therefore, there has been growing interest in the com…

PlasticityNet: Learning to Simulate Metal, Sand, and Snow for Optimization Time Integration

NeurIPS 2022accept

In this paper, we propose a neural network-based approach for learning to represent the behavior of plastic solid materials ranging from rubber and metal to sand and snow. Unlike elastic forces such as spring forces, these plastic forces do not result from the positional gradient of any potential en…

Soft Hybrid Aerial Vehicle via Bistable Mechanism

ICRA 2021poster

Unmanned aerial vehicles have been demonstrated successfully in a variety of tasks, including surveying and sampling tasks over large areas. These vehicles can take many forms. Quadrotors’ agility and ability to hover makes them well suited for navigating potentially tight spaces, while fixed wing a…
