Contrastive Action-Image Pre-training for Visuomotor Control

Yuvan Sharma, Dantong Niu, Anirudh Pai +16

Existing vision encoders for robotics face a fundamental bottleneck: robotic datasets lack the scale necessary for large-scale pre-training. Prior work circumvents this data scarci…

World Action Models are Zero-shot Policies

Seonghyeon Ye, Yunhao Ge, Kaiyuan Zheng +33

State-of-the-art Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models excel at semantic generalization but struggle to generalize to unseen physical motions in novel environments. We introduce Drea…
