StageWAM: Joint-Embedding Stage Prediction for World-Action Models in Robot Manipulation
Xiao Liu, Yuguang Yang, Xi Wang +6
Generalist robot policies aim to map multimodal observations and linguistic task instructions to actions across diverse tasks. However, existing methods typically represent the fut…
JEPA-WAM: Learning Vision-Language-Action Policies with Joint-Embedding World Modeling
Yihan Lin, Jiawei He, Shifeng Bao +6
Robust robot control benefits from explicitly modeling state transitions, but video-generation world action models (WAMs) introduce substantial deployment cost. Existing latent WAM…
4D-WAM: Infusing Spatiotemporal Awareness into World Action Models through Trajectory Fields
Lishan Yang, Wenxuan Song, Xi Wang +14
Building on recent advances in world models, World Action Models (WAMs) jointly model video prediction and action generation. However, they typically represent videos in 2D pixel s…
Adaptive-WAM: Quality-Guided Early-Exit Planning from Intermediate Video-Diffusion Features
Sining Ang, Yuguang Yang, Yan Wang
Large video diffusion models provide rich spatiotemporal priors for autonomous driving, but existing world-action models often inherit the cost of iterative future-video generation…
MobileWAM: Bridging World Action Models to Mobile Manipulation with Chain-of-Foresight
Zehua Fan, Junjie He, Wenxuan Song +14
World action models (WAMs) built on video generation backbones are a rising recipe for robot learning, yet remain confined to tabletop manipulation. Mobile manipulation demands sim…
ST-WAM: Semantic-Temporal World Action Model for Robust Manipulation under Visual Distribution Shifts
Mingxin Wang, Bin Hu, Bin Qian +12
World Action Models (WAMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm by jointly modeling robot actions and future visual dynamics. However, their reliance on pixel-generative future sup…
