We introduce SldprtNet, a large-scale dataset comprising over 242,000 industrial parts, designed for semantic-driven CAD modeling, geometric deep learning, and the training and fine-tuning of multimodal models for 3D design. The dataset provides 3D models in both .step and .sldprt formats to support diverse training and testing. To enable parametric modeling and facilitate dataset scalability, we developed supporting tools, an encoder and a decoder, which support 13 types of CAD commands and enable lossless transformation between 3D models and a structured text representation. Additionally, each sample is paired with a composite image created by merging seven rendered views from different viewpoints of the 3D model, effectively reducing input token length and accelerating inference. By combining this image with the parameterized text output from the encoder, we employ the lightweight multimodal language model Qwen2.5-VL-7B to generate a natural language description of each part's appearance and functionality. To ensure accuracy, we manually verified and aligned the generated descriptions, rendered images, and 3D models. These descriptions, along with the parameterized modeling scripts, rendered images, and 3D model files, are fully aligned to construct SldprtNet. To assess its effectiveness, we fine-tuned baseline models on a dataset subset, comparing image-plus-text inputs with text-only inputs. Results confirm the necessity and value of multimodal datasets for CAD generation. It features carefully selected real-world industrial parts, supporting tools for scalable dataset expansion, diverse modalities, and ensured diversity in model complexity and geometric features, making it a comprehensive multimodal dataset built for semantic-driven CAD modeling and cross-modal learning.

Compliance is essential for dexterous manipulation, yet existing solutions often rely on external tactile or force sensors that are costly, fragile, and difficult to deploy on low-cost robot hands. We propose a proprioception-driven framework that learns contact-aware compliance cues from motor current and joint states. Since motor current is closely related to actuator torque, it provides an intrinsic signal for perceiving contact force, object resistance, and grasp stability without additional sensing hardware. Rather than estimating external wrenches or commanding torque, our method predicts a compliance reference position: an ideal joint-position target for a standard PD controller whose induced position error generates appropriate grasping force. This position-based formulation is compatible with mainstream teleoperation and policy-learning pipelines, while enabling the robot to adapt interaction forces from real-time proprioceptive feedback. Thus, motor current serves not only as a force proxy but also as a learnable proprioceptive contact signal for compliance reference prediction. Experiments on multiple dexterous hands and contact-rich tasks, including fragile object handling, sustained surface contact, thin-object retrieval, and dynamic load adaptation, show stable compliant grasping, safer and more efficient teleoperation, and improved downstream policy learning without external tactile or force sensors.
