• Abstract: People often use physical intuition when manipulating articulated objects, irrespective of object semantics. Motivated by this observation, we identify an important embodied task where an agent must play with objects to recover their parts. To this end, we introduce Act the Part (AtP) to learn how to interact with articulated objects to discover and segment their pieces. By coupling action selection and motion segmentation, AtP is able to isolate structures to make perceptual part recovery possible without semantic labels. Our experiments show AtP learns efficient strategies for part discovery, can generalize to unseen categories, and is capable of conditional reasoning for the task. Although trained in simulation, we show convincing transfer to real world data with no fine-tuning.

  We propose a novel framework that bridges semantic and actionable parts of articulated objects to achieve generalizable manipulation under natural language instructions. A part-grounding module maps the semantic parts into so-called Generalizable Actionable Parts (GAParts), which inherently carry information about part motion. An interactive feedback module is incorporated to respond to failures, which closes the loop and increases the robustness of the overall framework.

  We present a new task of part-level affordance discovery (PartAfford) Given only the affordance labels per object, the machine is tasked to (i) decompose 3D shapes into parts and (ii) discover how each part corresponds to a certain affordance category. We propose a novel learning framework for PartAfford, which discovers part-level representations by leveraging only the affordance set supervision and geometric primitive regularization.
