7 DAILY ICCV Wednesday Ava Pun see some of the cool structures generated by brick GPT that were actually built by humans in real life. We also made a robot system that picks up the bricks and puts them together and also can build the structures in real life. We brought some bricks, so we're planning to bring some real bricks to the poster and build our structures in real life so you can see them there standing up and touch them.” As awesome as it sounds, we want to know why - out of more than 11,000 submitted papers, this paper has come in the top 13. Ava’s guess is that the challenge that they're trying to tackle is, very applicable to a lot of people and very understandable to a lot of people. “Because everyone's played with Lego bricks before!”, she declares. “Everyone knows how important it is to actually make the structure stable and make it buildable in real life. And bringing generative AI out of the digital world and into the physical world is something that a lot of people haven't seen before and would probably like to see because it's something that we all experience every day in the physical world!” The authors ended up writing a user study where a bunch of people wrote prompts, submit them, and then the model would return instructions so that the people could either build them themselves or it would send it to a robot and then the robot would build the results. “That was really cool! People liked it! They liked being able to see just a text prompt in their mind, send it to the computer, and then getting this physical product that you could touch. That was really cool for me and everyone involved!” A funny detail: during the process of developing the model, the team came up with many attempts that didn't work so well and generated many images of chairs that were obviously not very good. Ava was kind enough to share a set of these - here it is it below.
