LLM-Grounder is a novel zero-shot, open-vocabulary approach proposed for 3D visual grounding in next-generation household robots. It combines the language understanding skills of large language models (LLMs) with visual grounding tools to address the limitations of current methods. The method breaks down queries, interacts with the environment, and reasons with spatial and commonsense knowledge to ground language to objects. Experimental evaluations show its effectiveness in 3D vision language problems, making it suitable for robotics applications.
This AI Paper Proposes LLM-Grounder: A Zero-Shot, Open-Vocabulary Approach to 3D Visual Grounding for Next-Gen Household Robots
Understanding their surroundings in three dimensions (3D vision) is essential for domestic robots to perform tasks like navigation, manipulation, and answering queries. At the same time, current methods can need help to deal with complicated language queries or rely excessively on large amounts of labeled data.
ChatGPT and GPT-4 are just two examples of large language models (LLMs) with amazing language understanding skills, such as planning and tool use.
Nikhil Madaan and researchers from the University of Michigan and New York University present LLM-Grounder, a novel zero-shot LLM-agent-based 3D visual grounding process that uses an open vocabulary. While a visual grounder excels at grounding basic noun phrases, the team hypothesizes that an LLM can help mitigate the “bag-of-words” limitation of a CLIP-based visual grounder by taking on the challenging language deconstruction, spatial, and commonsense reasoning tasks itself.
LLM-Grounder relies on an LLM to coordinate the grounding procedure. After receiving a natural language query, the LLM breaks it down into its parts or semantic ideas, such as the type of object sought, its properties (including color, shape, and material), landmarks, and geographical relationships. To locate each concept in the scene, these sub-queries are sent to a visual grounder tool supported by OpenScene or LERF, both of which are CLIP-based open-vocabulary 3D visual grounding approaches.
The visual grounder suggests a few bounding boxes based on where the most promising candidates for a notion are located in the scene. Thevisual grounder tools compute spatial information, such as object volumes and distances to landmarks, and feed that data back to the LLM agent, allowing the latter to make a more well-rounded assessment of the situation in terms of spatial relation and common sense and ultimately choose a candidate that best matches all criteria in the original query. The LLM agent will continue to cycle through these stepsuntil it reaches a decision. The researchers take a step beyond existing neural-symbolic methodsby using the surrounding context in their analysis.
The team highlights that the method doesn’t require labeled data for training. Given the semantic variety of 3D settings and the scarcity of 3D-text labeled data, its open-vocabulary and zero-shot generalization tonovel 3D scenes and arbitrary text queries is an attractive feature.
