CueNav is a video model-based navigation framework that uses visual cues—a Bird's-Eye View map for global task context and a body-aware egocentric view for embodiment context—to guide a video planner. The framework couples this planner with an embodiment-specific Inverse-Dynamics Model that translates dense flow fields from the video plan into robot actions. Experiments show that CueNav nearly doubles maze navigation success compared to cue-less planning and achieves 70% success in narrow passages, while also supporting zero-shot semantic-conditioned navigation across different robot platforms.

The survey "World-Action Models for Robot Learning and Control" reviews recent advances in coupling future world prediction with executable action generation for robots in open environments. It clarifies the scope of World-Action Models (WAMs) relative to conventional world models, model-based RL, and Vision‑Language‑Action policies, and organizes existing methods through a unified taxonomy covering representations, transition modeling, action interfaces, architectures, training pipelines, data modalities, and scaling strategies. The paper also surveys applications in manipulation, navigation, and autonomous driving, summarizes datasets, benchmarks, and metrics, and discusses key challenges such as action alignment, spatial consistency, long‑horizon memory, and efficient inference.
