IM-ENGINE: 具現化データ生成のための画像編集

原文アブストラクト

Learning-based manipulation requires supervision that is both semantically meaningful and physically executable, but current data pipelines often provide only one of these properties. Human demonstrations capture intent but are costly to collect and constrained by the human-robot embodiment gap, while simulation can scale data generation but often under-specifies functional behavior. We present IM-ENGINE, a simulator-grounded pipeline that uses image editing as an intermediate representation for embodied data generation. Given a rendered scene with known geometry, depth, segmentation, and camera parameters, IM-ENGINE edits the image to inject task-relevant semantics, recovers explicit 3D state using simulator priors and an unchanged anchor object, refines the state in physics, and converts it into robot-executable supervision. We instantiate the pipeline for dexterous grasp synthesis and goal-state generation. For grasping, IM-ENGINE generates a human grasp in image space, recovers the hand-object interaction, retargets it to a robot hand, and refines it into physically validated robot grasps. For goal generation, it edits a rendered scene into a desired outcome, recovers the target-object pose, and refines it into physically valid, semantically meaningful goals and trajectories. This combination of generative semantic priors and simulator grounding enables scalable task-relevant supervision for robot learning.
