TAX-DPD predicts final point clouds in two stages: a scene-level model selects a rough location, then diffusion refines shape and position. Point diffusion succeeds on 95% of ManyMugs trials, versus 89% for an SE(3)-diffusion ablation, and 98% versus 97% on fixed-geometry OneMug. This supports an advantage on varied geometries, not universal superiority.
Key insights
- Point cloud diffusion, particularly when disentangled, offers superior accuracy and generalization across varying object geometries compared to SE(3) pose prediction, even for rigid object placement.
- A hierarchical approach that first addresses global scene-level multi-modality with a Dense GMM before local refinement significantly improves the effectiveness and precision of object placement.
- Disentangling the point cloud diffusion process into separate denoising tasks for object shape and its placement frame is crucial for achieving high-fidelity, precise goal configurations in complex manipulation scenarios.
