JEPA Policy: Diffusion-Free Imitation Learning via Paired Action and Future Representation Prediction

Jie Xu, Kangjin Yu, Ziyi Jin +5

Standard behavior cloning supervises actions without explicitly constraining the future representation paired with each demonstrated action chunk. We introduce JEPA Policy, a diffu…

GIFT: Guided Intermediate Feature Training via Action-Oriented Structural Supervision for Robotic Manipulation

Yupeng Zheng, Xiang Li, Songen Gu +11

Vision-language pre-training and predictive world modeling provide robot policies with rich semantic and dynamic visual features, but their native action and visual-prediction obje…

Latent Action as Intention Enables Efficient Future Imagination for World Action Models

Xiang Li, Yupeng Zheng, Songen Gu +11

World action models (WAMs) improve robot control by modeling how observations evolve, but generating future observations at test time incurs substantial latency. Fast-WAM removes t…

NebulaVLA: A Dual-Frequency Vision-Language-Action Model With Guide Action for Robotic Manipulation

Cong Zhao, Shuai Tian, Xu Zhang +11

Real-world deployment of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models is often bottlenecked by efficiency-performance trade-offs, cross-embodiment generalization, and execution smoothness.…

WALA Learning Executable Latent Actions from Action-Labeled Demonstrations and Action-Free Videos

Jiahao Liu, Zhongpu Xia, Shuai Tian +13

Generalizable robot policies typically rely on action-labeled robot demonstrations, which are expensive to collect and difficult to scale. In contrast, large-scale human and robot…

VT-WAM: Visual-Tactile World Action Model for Contact-Rich Manipulation

Shuai Tian, Yupeng Zheng, Yuhang Zheng +7

Contact-rich manipulation requires policies to react to local deformation, pressure, slip, and friction, yet these cues are temporally sparse and often invisible in visual observat…
