Affordance-Based Manipulation Planning with Text Goals and Sim-to-Real Generalisation via Real-to-Sim Image Conversion
arXiv:2607.11004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a manipulation planning system based on affordance recognition and action effect prediction. The system reasons through possible futures in visual form, and evaluates candidate plans by agreement of predicted outcomes with text-based goals set at run-time, using a multi-modal goal-matching module.

arXiv:2607.11004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a manipulation planning system based on affordance recognition and action effect prediction. The system reasons through possible futures in visual form, and evaluates candidate plans by agreement of predicted outcomes with text-based goals set at run-time, using a multi-modal goal-matching module. Positions of objects named in the goal text are tracked through predictions even when occluded, making it possible to generate action plans even when objects become occluded, or when their initial descriptors cease to identify them in future states. We further expand the system with an image conversion module for translating real-world state images with objects of varied shapes and visual appearances into a consistent visual appearance, to facilitate manipulation planning in a physical robot setup. We evaluate performance of the system's modules in isolation and demonstrate the integrated system's manipulation planning capabilities on a set of challenging tasks in both simulation and on hardware.
