arXiv:2609.12388v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hidden debonding behind exterior ceramic tiles is a falling-tile hazard, and millimeter-wave radar offers a non-contact way to find it. Conventional interpretation first reconstructs a range profile, so its reliability is bounded by the available bandwidth, yet bandwidth is what sets the cost, the acquisition time, and the regulatory footprint of a deployed system. This work asks whether that bandwidth can be traded for computation. A 4-40 GHz stepped-frequency system scans twelve exterior-wall specimens containing 0.5-1.0 mm air voids at different depths and interfaces, and the bandwidth dependence of A-scan, B-scan, and C-scan interpretation is analyzed to establish the resolution bound. RF-VoID is then proposed, which decides directly on the narrowband complex response: the sub-band is kept in its measured frequency order with amplitude and phase alongside the in-phase and quadrature channels, a dual-branch encoder reads it along the physical frequency axis using relative position encoding and a distance-dependent locality bias, and an inspection-oriented objective handles the class imbalance and the asymmetric error cost of facade screening. Under a mixed-sample protocol the method attains 98.61% accuracy and a 95.84% F1-score with 0.5 GHz of bandwidth, a seventy-two-fold reduction relative to the full sweep, without range-profile reconstruction, deconvolution, or depth-slice selection; on specimens held out entirely from training it remains the strongest of the compared models, with a mean macro F1-score of 62.12% at 0.5 GHz that rises to 68.57% at 1 GHz.

arXiv:2609.12898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-grained robotic manipulation depends on understanding parts, not only whole objects. Existing 3D foundation models tend to be either generalized but object-aware, or part-aware but limited to closed-set taxonomies, which weakens zero-shot transfer. We study text-conditioned 3D part segmentation, where a free-form phrase selects a functional part on point cloud. We introduce UniPart, a feed-forward cross-modal 3D Transformer that conditions CLIP text embedding. To scale supervision, we build LangPart-1M with 160K+ Objaverse assets and 8M text to part pairs using multi-view consistent part generation. We further manually label a high-quality subset, LangPart-4K, for fine-tuning and evaluation. UniPart achieves strong zero-shot results on open-vocabulary part benchmarks and transfers to language-conditioned part grasping in real world.

arXiv:2604.23580v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Translating natural-language descriptions of physical phenomena into executable simulation code requires both programming expertise and physical reasoning. Current large language models (LLMs) lack this combination: they frequently produce code that runs but simulates the wrong physics. We introduce PhysCodeBench, the first benchmark for this task, with 1,200 expert-validated examples spanning four physical domains. Its evaluation suite, PhysCodeEval, goes beyond executability and visual fidelity to measure physical correctness directly from the engine state via conservation-law residuals and expert-written assertions, and supports cross-engine evaluation to disentangle physics reasoning from API fluency. As a reference method, we propose the Self-Corrective Multi-Agent Refinement Framework (SMRF), which decouples physics-aware error correction from code generation through specialized agents. This design is motivated by our finding that targeted correction, rather than generic iterative refinement, is the key driver of physical accuracy. SMRF nearly triples the physical-assertion pass rate of the best proprietary baseline (70.6\% vs.\ 23.8\%) and retains its advantage under cross-engine transfer.
