Researchers have introduced a novel task called object functionalization, aiming to transform visually plausible but non-functional 3D models into ones that are physically operable. This is achieved by formulating the problem as a graph completion task using a new functional graph representation. A neural Graph Functionalizer (GraFu) model is developed to complete incomplete graphs of non-functional 3D objects, which then drives a geometry realization stage to add necessary structural elements and connectors. This process also rectifies errors in motion data, leading to more physically plausible behavior. The team has created FurFun-233, a dataset of 233 furniture models, to support this research. AI
