What Matters for World Modeling in Vision-Language-Action Models?
Qisen Ma, Yixiang Chen, Yuan Xu +10
Integrating world models into Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) has emerged as a promising direction, enabling policies to anticipate future dynamics beyond reactive observation…
XEWorld: Can Action-Conditioned World Models Generalize to Unseen Robot Embodiments?
Yixiang Chen, Jiabing Yang, Yuan Xu +10
Action-conditioned world models are promising learned simulators for robotic manipulation, yet evaluating them exclusively on training robots fails to reveal whether they capture p…
FlowWAM: Optical Flow as a Unified Action Representation for World Action Models
Yixiang Chen, Peiyan Li, Yuan Xu +13
World Action Models (WAMs) are able to leverage pretrained video generators for both world modeling and action prediction. However, directly leveraging such video generators for co…
E-TTS: A New Embodied Test-Time Scaling Framework for Robotic Manipulation
Wen Ye, Peiyan Li, Tingyu Yuan +7
Recently, a few works have made early attempts to study test-time scaling for embodied tasks. However, two major challenges remain unsolved: (1) reasoning can effectively improve t…
WAM-Nav: Asymmetric Latent World-Action Modeling for Unified Visual Navigation
Ning Yang, Yan Huang, Kaiwen Peng +9
Visual navigation requires generating smooth and collision-free trajectories under complex geometric and physical constraints. Existing reactive policies that directly map observat…
SKIP: Sparse Keyframe Interpolation Paradigm for Efficient Embodied World Models
Ziheng He, Yixiang Chen, Ning Yang +11
Embodied world models have emerged as a promising paradigm in robotics by predicting how robot actions affect the surrounding scene. However, the rollout inference remains computat…
SpatialVAM:Spatial-Aware Multi-View Video Diffusion as a Data-Efficient Robot Policy
Peiyan Li, Yixiang Chen, Yuan Xu +13
Robotic manipulation requires understanding both the 3D spatial structure of the environment and its temporal evolution, yet most existing policies neglect one or both aspects. The…
FloorPlan-VLN: A New Paradigm for Floor Plan Guided Vision-Language Navigation
Kehan Chen, Yan Huang, Dong An +5
Existing Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) task requires agents to follow verbose instructions, ignoring some potentially useful global spatial priors, limiting their capability to…
BridgeV2W: Bridging Video Generation Models to Embodied World Models via Embodiment Masks
Yixiang Chen, Peiyan Li, Jiabing Yang +8
Embodied world models have emerged as a promising paradigm in robotics, most of which leverage large-scale Internet videos or pretrained video generation models to enrich visual an…
EgoDemoGen: Egocentric Demonstration Generation for Viewpoint Generalization in Robotic Manipulation
Yuan Xu, Jiabing Yang, Xiaofeng Wang +16
Imitation learning based visuomotor policies have achieved strong performance in robotic manipulation, yet they often remain sensitive to egocentric viewpoint shifts. Unlike third-…
