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…

BridgeVLA++: A Data-Efficient, Generalizable, and Memory-Augmented Vision-Language-Action Framework for 3D Manipulation

Peiyan Li, Yuze Zhu, Yixiang Chen +10

Leveraging pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) to construct vision-language-action (VLA) models has emerged as a promising paradigm for 3D robot manipulation. However, existi…
