HiTac-WAM: A Hierarchical Tactile World Action Model for Contact-Rich Robot Manipulation

Chao Xue, Chaofan Zhang, Wenxuan Ma +3

World action models jointly predict future visual observations and actions, whereas existing tactile-aware variants typically represent future touch as an image or latent stream wi…

FeelWorld: Visuo-Tactile World Model for Hierarchical Contact Prediction and Planning

Wenxuan Ma, Chaofan Zhang, Chao Xue +4

Humans plan physical interactions by imagining the possible outcomes of candidate actions. However, existing visual world models primarily capture appearance dynamics while overloo…

Robobench: A Comprehensive Evaluation Benchmark for Multimodal Large Language Models as Embodied Brain

Yulin Luo, Chun-Kai Fan, Menghang Dong +19

Building robots that can perceive, reason, and act in dynamic, unstructured environments remains a central challenge. Recent embodied systems often follow a dual-system paradigm, w…
