Title: FORGE: Towards Functional Tool-Use Generalization via Keypoint Trajectory Reasoning

Abstract:
arXiv:2607.05780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While humans readily repurpose a book, a stone, or a shoe to drive a nail, robots trained on specific tools fail to transfer the same function to novel ones -- a gap we formalize as functional generalization. Such tools share a common functional intent that is visually recognizable, yet this perceptual similarity does not carry over to action space, where each tool demands an entirely different motor pattern. To bridge this gap, we explore interm
