The paper introduces a reinforcement learning post‑training scheme that trains robot world models on their own autoregressive rollouts, using a contrastive RL objective adapted from diffusion models. It also proposes a training protocol that compares multiple variable‑length futures, a multi‑view visual fidelity reward, and demonstrates state‑of‑the‑art rollout fidelity on the DROID dataset, outperforming baselines on LPIPS, SSIM, and human preference tests.
The paper introduces CSWAM, a Causal Semantic World Action Model that enhances FastWAM by integrating a causal semantic expert based on V-JEPA 2.1. This expert provides temporally grounded, appearance‑agnostic representations of semantic state changes and motion, leveraging sparse observation history and causal attention to improve action‑only inference. Experiments on simulation and real‑robot tasks show that CSWAM significantly boosts out‑of‑distribution generalization, raising success rates from 10.16% to 45.18% on RoboTwin 2.0 and from 27.5% to 70.0% across real‑robot tasks.

The paper introduces a learned speed prior that predicts a distribution over execution speed for robot demonstrations, allowing consistent retiming across tasks. By applying this prior to both robot teleoperation and handheld demonstrations, the authors retime demonstrations to a handheld pace before fine‑tuning a vision‑language‑action policy. Experiments on 120 RoboLab tasks and a real robot show that policies trained with the learned clocks achieve higher success rates and smoother motion, outperforming policies fine‑tuned on original or uniformly accelerated timings.

arXiv:2605. 12236v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fine-tuning pre-trained robot policies with reinforcement learning (RL) often inherits the bottlenecks introduced by pre-training with behavioral cloning (BC), which produces narrow action distributions that lack the coverage necessary for downstream exploration.
