3D Generation for Embodied AI and Robotic Simulation: A Survey

Embodied AI and robotic systems increasingly depend on scalable, diverse, and physically grounded 3D content for simulation-based training and real-world deployment. While 3D generative modeling has advanced rapidly, embodied applications impose requirements far beyond visual realism: generated objects must carry kinematic structure and material properties, scenes must support interaction and task execution, and the resulting content must bridge the gap between simulation and reality. This survey reviews 3D generation for embodied AI and organizes the literature around three roles that 3D generation plays in embodied systems. In Data Generator, 3D generation produces simulation-ready objects and assets, including articulated, physically grounded, and deformable content for downstream interaction; in Simulation Environments, it constructs interactive and task-oriented worlds, spanning structure-aware, controllable, and agentic scene generation; and in Sim2Real Bridge, it supports digital twin reconstruction, data augmentation, and synthetic demonstrations for downstream robot learning and real-world transfer. We also show that the field is shifting from visual realism toward interaction readiness, and we identify the main bottlenecks, including limited physical annotations, the gap between geometric quality and physical validity, fragmented evaluation, and the persistent sim-to-real divide, that must be addressed for 3D generation to become a dependable foundation for embodied intelligence.

MeshFIM: Local Low-Poly Mesh Editing via Fill-in-the-Middle Autoregressive Generation

Autoregressive (AR) models can generate high-quality low-poly meshes from point clouds, but they still operate in an all-or-nothing manner: when a local region is unsatisfactory, the entire mesh must be regenerated, wasting computation and destroying satisfactory mesh structure elsewhere. We introduce MeshFIM, a Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM) framework that regenerates a target region of a low-poly mesh conditioned on the surrounding context. MeshFIM addresses three mesh-specific challenges: enforcing exact attachment along the exposed boundary, preserving topological order in the context, and suppressing overflow beyond the intended region. It does so with five complementary design choices: boundary vertex markers, context positional embeddings, expanded context width, context augmentation, and a low-poly geometry encoder whose gated subtraction mechanism focuses generation on the missing region by leveraging the difference between the reference surface and the existing mesh. Detailed ablation studies are presented to show the effectiveness of every introduced component. Based on MeshFIM, we demonstrate two applications: interactive brush-based editing and automatic defect repair on low-poly mesh (see Figure 1). Last but not least, experiments show that MeshFIM outperforms a range of baselines in mesh refinement, mesh repair and whole mesh generation plus stitch-back scheme.

PhysForge: Generating Physics-Grounded 3D Assets for Interactive Virtual World

Synthesizing physics-grounded 3D assets is a critical bottleneck for interactive virtual worlds and embodied AI. Existing methods predominantly focus on static geometry, overlooking the functional properties essential for interaction. We propose that interactive asset generation must be rooted in functional logic and hierarchical physics. To bridge this gap, we introduce PhysForge, a decoupled two-stage framework supported by PhysDB, a large-scale dataset of 150,000 assets with four-tier physical annotations. First, a VLM acts as a "physical architect" to plan a "Hierarchical Physical Blueprint" defining material, functional, and kinematic constraints. Second, a physics-grounded diffusion model realizes this blueprint by synthesizing high-fidelity geometry alongside precise kinematic parameters via a novel KineVoxel Injection (KVI) mechanism. Experiments demonstrate that PhysForge produces functionally plausible, simulation-ready assets, providing a robust data engine for interactive 3D content and embodied agents.

R-DMesh: Video-Guided 3D Animation via Rectified Dynamic Mesh Flow

Video-guided 3D animation holds immense potential for content creation, offering intuitive and precise control over dynamic assets. However, practical deployment faces a critical yet frequently overlooked hurdle: the pose misalignment dilemma. In real-world scenarios, the initial pose of a user-provided static mesh rarely aligns with the starting frame of a reference video. Naively forcing a mesh to follow a mismatched trajectory inevitably leads to severe geometric distortion or animation failure. To address this, we present Rectified Dynamic Mesh (R-DMesh), a unified framework designed to generate high-fidelity 4D meshes that are ``rectified'' to align with video context. Unlike standard motion transfer approaches, our method introduces a novel VAE that explicitly disentangles the input into a conditional base mesh, relative motion trajectories, and a crucial rectification jump offset. This offset is learned to automatically transform the arbitrary pose of the input mesh to match the video's initial state before animation begins. We process these components via a Triflow Attention mechanism, which leverages vertex-wise geometric features to modulate the three orthogonal flows, ensuring physical consistency and local rigidity during the rectification and animation process. For generation, we employ a Rectified Flow-based Diffusion Transformer conditioned on pre-trained video latents, effectively transferring rich spatio-temporal priors to the 3D domain. To support this task, we construct Video-RDMesh, a large-scale dataset of over 500k dynamic mesh sequences specifically curated to simulate pose misalignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that R-DMesh not only solves the alignment problem but also enables robust downstream applications, including pose retargeting and holistic 4D generation.

Tango3D: Towards Alignment for Global and Local 2D-3D Correspondence

Existing 3D foundation models typically align point clouds to frozen vision-language spaces like CLIP, which achieve strong cross-modal retrieval by compressing 3D shape into a global vector. However, this global-only alignment cannot establish fine-grained pixel-to-point correspondence. To solve this, we present Tango3D, a foundation model that unifies dense correspondence and global retrieval. We use a geometry-aware 2D visual backbone and a pretrained 3D VAE to encode images into 2D patches and point clouds into 3D tokens. These are mapped into a single shared space to achieve both local pixel-to-point alignment and global semantic alignment. To stabilize the joint learning of dense and global objectives, we introduce a three-stage progressive training strategy. Experiments show our model successfully achieves object-level pixel-to-point alignment while maintaining competitive global retrieval, a joint capability not offered by existing 3D foundation models. By establishing a fine-grained alignment feature space, Tango3D injects rich semantics into purely geometric 3D tokens, paving the way for a wide range of dense 3D downstream tasks.

DPTNet: A Dual-Path Transformer Architecture for Scene Text Detection

The prosperity of deep learning contributes to the rapid progress in scene text detection. Among all the methods with convolutional networks, segmentation-based ones have drawn extensive attention due to their superiority in detecting text instances of arbitrary shapes and extreme aspect ratios. However, the bottom-up methods are limited to the performance of their segmentation models. In this paper, we propose DPTNet (Dual-Path Transformer Network), a simple yet effective architecture to model the global and local information for the scene text detection task. We further propose a parallel design that integrates the convolutional network with a powerful self-attention mechanism to provide complementary clues between the attention path and convolutional path. Moreover, a bi-directional interaction module across the two paths is developed to provide complementary clues in the channel and spatial dimensions. We also upgrade the concentration operation by adding an extra multi-head attention layer to it. Our DPTNet achieves state-of-the-art results on the MSRA-TD500 dataset, and provides competitive results on other standard benchmarks in terms of both detection accuracy and speed.
