New dataset and model advance robotic appliance manipulation

Researchers have developed MAGE, a data synthesis pipeline designed to generate diverse, task-oriented datasets for household appliance manipulation. This pipeline utilizes a Hierarchical Appliance Graph (HAG) to create grounding, planning, and recovery data from appliance manuals. The resulting dataset, UseAppliance, contains over 89,000 part annotations and 53,000 manipulation tasks across 22 appliance categories. An end-to-end model called AppliancePlan, built using this dataset, demonstrates significant improvements in planning capabilities and effective sim-to-real transfer in real-world robotic experiments.

    Scaling Manual-Grounded Appliance Manipulation with Data Synthesis and Unified Planning

    arXiv:2608.15863v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Operating household appliances requires long-horizon planning that is state-dependent and robust to disturbances, yet existing large models fall short, as no sufficiently diverse, task-oriented dataset exists to support such plann…
