Artisan

Artisan is an AI multi-agent pipeline and benchmark that generates physically grounded articulated 3D assets.

Artisan is a multi-agent pipeline and unified benchmark designed for creating physically grounded articulated 3D assets. It features separate Design, Coding, and Review agents for planning, construction, and independent assessment. The system uses physical simulation feedback to detect collisions and instability, guiding repairs to geometry and physical parameters. It evaluates spatial fidelity, physical plausibility, downstream task performance, and overall quality across more than 10 models and multiple datasets. The system is developed by researchers from Nanyang Technological University, ETH Zurich, University of Oxford, Microsoft, and University of Cambridge.
