EmbodiedSmith: Scaling Embodied Data through Recursive Self-Improvement Flywheel in Simulation

We introduce EmbodiedSmith, a framework for scalable embodied data generation through recursive self-improvement (RSI).

Key points

  • Scaling robotic foundation models requires diverse training data and reliable evaluation environments.
  • Simulation offers a scalable solution, yet existing generation pipelines remain constrained by predefined assets and skills, a disconnect between scene generation and task generation, and limited support for complex embodiments and physics.
  • EmbodiedSmith unifies asset, scene, and task generation in a pipeline that supports autonomous creation and language-driven customization.
  • Its core is an agentic refinement loop: scene generation anticipates downstream task requirements, while task generation guides targeted scene edits, allowing scenes and tasks to iteratively improve one another.
