CtrlWAM: Controllable World Action Models with Aligned Intent and Foresight

Chensheng Peng, Wenhao Ding, Ran Tian +9

World action models (WAMs) jointly predict actions (intent) and visual future (foresight). Standard training adds noise to recorded actions and video simultaneously, but such train…
