Embodied AI for kitchen scene rearrangement: a deep spatio-temporal approach
摘要
Scene rearrangement is a crucial capability for household robotic assistants, requiring an embodied agent to restore objects to a previously recorded configuration after external modifications. This work addresses the core challenges of scene understanding and high-level task strategy , which depend on an agent’s ability to accurately identify objects, ascertain their states, and detect discrepancies from a target layout. Despite recent progress, a gap remains for methods that can operate without privileged information, such as complete scene geometry or ground truth object states. This paper presents a complete, end-to-end framework designed for such realistic constraints in complex kitchen environments. The proposed methodology integrates deep learning-based perception with spatio-temporal analysis of egocentric RGB-D data. This enables the system to detect object relocations, identify intrinsic state changes, infer necessary tool-based actions, and plan an optimal execution sequence for the entire task. Evaluated in the AI2-THOR simulation environment, the system achieves a 93.6% success rate on the FixedStrict metric and a 98.6% accuracy in inferring and executing state transformations, showcasing its robustness on complex, multi-step tasks under sequential observation constraints.
