The paper introduces Predicting Intention of Partner (PIP), a method for zero‑shot coordination in partially observable settings. PIP employs a Joint‑view VAE to create a partner representation from local observations and uses Partner‑State Belief networks to infer hidden partner states from interaction history. Experiments on Burrito‑PO, Overcooked‑PO, and Melting Pot, along with human evaluation, show that PIP outperforms other methods and demonstrates effective coordination with unseen partners under occlusion.

Attacca is a new approach for training visual goal‑conditioned policies that can handle continuous long‑horizon task execution in embodied agents. It decouples goal images from the execution environment by sampling class‑compatible masked goals from other worlds, enabling the policy to ground targets in the current view via a target‑mask prediction head. The method also introduces behavioral‑phase conditioning to distinguish Search, Approach, and Interact stages, and achieves significant performance gains on Minecraft tasks, outperforming baselines by up to 7× on long‑horizon scenarios.

EmbodiedSkills is a skill-based agent framework that enhances frozen vision‑language‑action (VLA) policies with world action models for consequence‑aware action selection. It defines reusable skills for observation, context encoding, candidate generation, consequence prediction, outcome evaluation, candidate comparison, and action execution, organized into five stages that support both continuous action chunks and pick‑and‑place primitives. The framework improves success rates on MetaWorld MT50, CLIPort, and CALVIN benchmarks by incorporating outcome predictions and lightweight comparators while keeping the core policy and observation encoders frozen.
