Generalizable Long-Horizon Manipulations with Large Language Models

This work introduces a framework harnessing the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate primitive task conditions for generalizable long-horizon manipulations with novel objects and unseen tasks. These task conditions serve as guides for the generation and adjustment of Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMP) trajectories for long-horizon task execution. We further create a challenging robotic manipulation task suite based on Pybullet for long-horizon task evaluation. Extensive experiments in both simulated and real-world environments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework on both familiar tasks involving new objects and novel but related tasks, highlighting the potential of LLMs in enhancing robotic system versatility and adaptability.

ClothesNet: An Information-Rich 3D Garment Model Repository with Simulated Clothes Environment

We present ClothesNet: a large-scale dataset of 3D clothes objects with information-rich annotations. Our dataset consists of around 4400 models covering 11 categories annotated with clothes features, boundary lines, and keypoints. ClothesNet can be used to facilitate a variety of computer vision and robot interaction tasks. Using our dataset, we establish benchmark tasks for clothes perception, including classification, boundary line segmentation, and keypoint detection, and develop simulated clothes environments for robotic interaction tasks, including rearranging, folding, hanging, and dressing. We also demonstrate the efficacy of our ClothesNet in real-world experiments. Supplemental materials and dataset are available on our project webpage.
