arXiv:2606.04226v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Simulation environments are useful for both robot policy learning and planning verification and validation. Traditionally, the process of creating a simulation was onerous. Creating a bespoke simulation environment for each individual environment that a robot would operate in was simply infeasible. In this work, we introduce PerceptTwin, a fully automatic pipeline that constructs interactive simulations directly from semantic scene representations produced by a robot's perception stack. PerceptTwin combines open-vocabulary object maps with 3D a
The increasing sophistication of LLMs and robotic perception systems necessitates better simulation environments for testing and validation, which PerceptTwin aims to provide automatically.
This development could significantly accelerate robot policy learning and deployment by making simulation environments easier and faster to create, reducing development costs and timelines for advanced autonomous systems.
The barrier to creating high-fidelity, interactive simulation environments for robots is substantially lowered, moving from manual, onerous processes to fully automatic generation from real-world perception data.

Faster iteration cycles for robot training and validation in diverse environments become possible.
The cost of developing and deploying advanced robotic systems decreases, leading to wider adoption across industries.
Enhanced simulation capabilities could lead to more robust and generalizable AI models for physical world interaction, blurring lines between real and simulated training data.
