Abstract
Recent advances in large-scale pretrained vision-language-action models have improved robot policy learning, but directly deploying such policies in user-specific environments remains challenging due to limited generalization, which inevitably requires collecting a dataset tailored to the target environment. Teleoperation yields well-aligned data but is costly and difficult to scale, whereas simulation scales easily but struggles to resemble the target environment and generate task-specific trajectories. To meet both simultaneously, we propose PRISM, an end-to-end pipeline that generates personalized robotic datasets from a single image and a natural-language instruction. PRISM constructs digital cousin scenes that are semantically and geometrically aligned with the user environment yet diverse at the instance level, and synthesizes executable demonstrations without human teleoperation. Extensive experiments show that policies trained on PRISM-generated datasets outperform those trained on baseline-generated datasets on LIBERO and LIBERO-Plus, achieve up to 100% success rate on three real-world manipulation tasks, and maintain stronger performance when evaluated in environments that differ from those seen during training.
The development of robust and generalizable robot learning models is critically contingent upon the availability of large-scale, diverse training data and reliable evaluation benchmarks. Collecting data in the physical world poses prohibitive costs and scalability challenges, and prevailing simulation benchmarks frequently suffer from fragmentation, narrow scope, or insufficient fidelity to enable effective sim-to-real transfer. To address these challenges, we introduce Genie Sim 3.0, a unified simulation platform for robotic manipulation. We present Genie Sim Generator, a large language model (LLM)-powered tool that constructs high-fidelity scenes from natural language instructions. Its principal strength resides in rapid and multi-dimensional generalization, facilitating the synthesis of diverse environments to support scalable data collection and robust policy evaluation. We introduce the first benchmark that pioneers the application of LLM for automated evaluation. It leverages LLM to mass-generate evaluation scenarios and employs Vision-Language Model (VLM) to establish an automated assessment pipeline. We also release an open-source dataset comprising more than 10,000 hours of synthetic data across over 200 tasks. Through systematic experimentation, we validate the robust zero-shot sim-to-real transfer capability of our open-source dataset, demonstrating that synthetic data can server as an effective substitute for real-world data under controlled conditions for scalable policy training.

Scaling robot learning requires large-scale, diverse demonstrations, yet real-world data collection via teleoperation remains prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. While video diffusion models offer a promising avenue for data scaling, existing generative approaches are often limited to superficial visual augmentation, or suffer from embodiment hallucinations that yield physically infeasible motions. We present a generalizable embodiment-centric world model that achieves scalable data generation by synthesizing photorealistic demonstrations with novel objects, in novel scenes, and from novel viewpoints. Our approach anchors generation to rendered robot motion while conditioning on explicit scene and object priors, effectively decoupling trajectory execution from environment synthesis. This formulation has the potential to unlock two powerful data scaling capabilities: (1) retrieval and rebirth, which repurposes existing trajectories into entirely new contexts without new motion data; and (2) prop-free teleoperation, where operators manipulate empty air and the model hallucinates the target objects and scene afterwards, eliminating reset time. We demonstrate with real-world experiments that our generated data consistently improves downstream policy performance and significantly reduces real-world data requirements across diverse manipulation tasks.
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising paradigm for general-purpose robot control. However, their performance remains fundamentally constrained by the availability of high-quality robot trajectory data. In current robot learning practice, such data are primarily collected through human teleoperation, which is labor-intensive, costly, and difficult to scale. In this paper, we propose RDGen, a sim-to-real reinforcement learning framework for generating high-quality robot demonstrations. Rather than employing reinforcement learning solely as the final control policy, RDGen leverages trained RL policies as a structured trajectory generator. The system consists of a VLM-based task parser that identifies task-relevant objects, a Grounding DINO-based object localizer, and an RL policy transferred from simulation to the real robot. Successful rollouts are then harvested as clean, high-quality demonstrations for downstream VLA training, while the simulation stage further provides a scalable source of additional trajectories at little marginal cost. Experiments on a pick-and-place task demonstrate that the transferred RL policy achieves a high task success rate. Compared with human teleoperation, RDGen produces significantly smoother trajectories and yields superior downstream VLA performance. These results indicate that RL-generated demonstrations can serve as more reliable and consistent supervisory signals for robot policy learning.
