arXiv:2607. 28405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) jointly predict future observations and actions, but their iterative denoising and closed-loop execution make efficient deployment costly.
arXiv:2605. 28803v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models unify perception, reasoning, and control within a single policy, yet their multi-billion-parameter backbones and diffusion-based action heads make on-device deployment prohibitively expensive.
arXiv:2607. 29235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although world-action models (WAMs) enhance long-horizon robot control by predicting visual evolution before acting, long-horizon reliability demands repeated re-grounding in real observations--not recursive rollout.
arXiv:2605. 28803v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models unify perception, reasoning, and control in a single policy, but their multi-billion-parameter backbones and diffusion-based action heads make on-device deployment prohibitively expensive.
arXiv:2605. 13548v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing robotic foundation models, while powerful, are predicated on an implicit assumption of temporal homogeneity: treating all actions as equally informative during optimization.
arXiv:2607. 04927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) provide a promising alternative to Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies by using video-based world modeling as dense supervision for robot action learning.
arXiv:2606. 09811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World-action models have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation, jointly modeling visual scene dynamics and actions to inject physical priors into policy learning.
arXiv:2608. 11739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The prevailing recipe for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models couples a pretrained VLM with a separately trained flow-matching action expert.
arXiv:2606. 04708v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) enables scalable real-world robot data collection without hardware-specific teleoperation, yet leveraging UMI data to train large-scale Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models remains fundamentally challenging.
arXiv:2607. 04265v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World-action (WA) models can generate long-horizon action chunks for general-purpose robotic manipulation, but they remain vulnerable to calibration, perception, and contact-dynamics errors in real-world precision tasks, often failing in the final few millimeters of alignment or insertion.
arXiv:2606. 05254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World-action models (WAMs) jointly generate future video and robot actions through iterative diffusion, achieving strong performance on manipulation benchmarks but requiring tens of denoising steps, a cost that precludes real-time control.
arXiv:2606. 05979v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose world-language-action (WLA) models as a new class of embodied foundation models.
arXiv:2607. 02431v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) can overcome the demonstration-coverage limitation of imitation learning (IL) by allowing robots to improve through trial-and-error interaction beyond the states observed in demonstrations.
