AI Analysis

This work addresses the problem of language-driven robotic perception and manipulation for robotics, providing a comprehensive benchmark and dataset.

The paper tackles the limitations of existing visual-language grounding and robotic grasping methods by proposing the RealVLG framework, which unifies real-world visual-language grounding and grasping tasks, achieving zero-shot perception and manipulation in unseen environments with a dataset of 165,000 images and 11 billion grasping examples.

Visual-language grounding aims to establish semantic correspondences between natural language and visual entities, enabling models to accurately identify and localize target objects based on textual instructions. Existing VLG approaches focus on coarse-grained, object-level localization, while traditional robotic grasping methods rely predominantly on geometric cues and lack language guidance, which limits their applicability in language-driven manipulation scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose the RealVLG framework, which integrates the RealVLG-11B dataset and the RealVLG-R1 model to unify real-world visual-language grounding and grasping tasks. RealVLG-11B dataset provides multi-granularity annotations including bounding boxes, segmentation masks, grasp poses, contact points, and human-verified fine-grained language descriptions, covering approximately 165,000 images, over 800 object instances, 1.3 million segmentation, detection, and language annotations, and roughly 11 billion grasping examples. Building on this dataset, RealVLG-R1 employs Reinforcement Fine-tuning on pretrained large-scale vision-language models to predict bounding boxes, segmentation masks, grasp poses, and contact points in a unified manner given natural language instructions. Experimental results demonstrate that RealVLG supports zero-shot perception and manipulation in real-world unseen environments, establishing a unified semantic-visual multimodal benchmark that provides a comprehensive data and evaluation platform for language-driven robotic perception and grasping policy learning.
