Learning 3D Affordances for Blade Insertion in Cluttered Stowing

arXiv:2607.02549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many manipulation tasks require reasoning about free-space affordances: discovering volumes where an extended rigid tool can safely navigate, complementary to surface contact affordances for grasping. Robotic stowing is a canonical instance, where a blade must sweep items aside inside cluttered fabric bins to create insertion space. Production stow systems generate millions of such episodes, but standard approaches with unimodal data infer affordan...
