Researchers have developed BrickNet, a system that uses a language model to generate assembly sequences for LEGO bricks. Unlike previous methods limited to simple towers, BrickNet handles thousands of diverse part types by representing structures through connectivity in a graph-based program. This approach improves the physical grounding of generated sequences, addressing challenges in satisfying physical constraints during assembly. The team has released their dataset and models to support further research. AI
