GRAFT: Graph-Based Affordance Transfer via Part Correspondence
arXiv:2606.25241v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalizing robotic manipulation to unseen objects remains challenging, as learning-based approaches require many demonstrations and fail in few-shot settings. Prior work transfers affordances through semantic retrieval, but semantics alone neglect geometric similarity, which is critical for manipulation. We propose GRAFT, a geometry-aware correspondence framework for zero-shot manipulation transfer using only one demonstration per object. Object

arXiv:2606.25241v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalizing robotic manipulation to unseen objects remains challenging, as learning-based approaches require many demonstrations and fail in few-shot settings. Prior work transfers affordances through semantic retrieval, but semantics alone neglect geometric similarity, which is critical for manipulation. We propose GRAFT, a geometry-aware correspondence framework for zero-shot manipulation transfer using only one demonstration per object. Objects are represented as part-based graphs, where part-level descriptors support global instance retrieval and part correspondence, and vertex-level descriptors enable fine-grained contact point matching. For an unseen object, our method first retrieves the most functionally and geometrically similar instance from the demonstration buffer with aligned functional parts, and finally propagates the contact points through point-wise correspondence.
