InternW0-Δ is a unified World Action Model that integrates pretrained visual dynamics, scene semantics, 4D geometry, and motion priors within a Mixture-of-Transformers framework to generate robot actions. It leverages a frozen VLM for semantic guidance, a 4D foundation model for geometric priors, and introduces Causal Imprint to learn future-relevant scene changes without future-video rollout. The model is pretrained on a newly curated 20K‑hour heterogeneous corpus of robot and human demonstrations, achieving superior performance on simulation benchmarks and real‑robot platforms.

The paper introduces a Prior‑Guided Residual Flow Matching framework for 3D multi‑person motion prediction. It uses a Deterministic Coarse Prior to anchor kinematics and a Dynamic Cross‑Interaction mechanism to synchronize inter‑agent message passing during integration, thereby improving structural consistency and social context extraction. A decoupled joint‑motion architecture with bidirectional fusion further preserves fine‑grained kinematic coherence, achieving state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on several datasets.

CLAP is a cross-embodiment framework for action‑conditioned video generation that can be trained on diverse internet‑scale videos from both humans and robots. It reconciles different action spaces—end‑effector poses, language instructions, and latent actions—using a curriculum that first learns physics priors from unlabeled video and then grounds them in real‑world action spaces for zero‑shot deployment. The resulting models match or exceed state‑of‑the‑art single‑embodiment models in challenging environments and support few‑shot adaptation across a wide range of robot morphologies.

World models enable agents to perform forward rollout and planning without real-world interaction. However, their application in open-world embodied intelligence remains limited by the high cost of action annotations and the heterogeneity of action spaces across platforms.

World models offer a promising route toward robot planning by enabling agents to imagine and verify the consequences of actions before execution. However, current video-based world models often struggle to capture the physical constraints that govern manipulation, particularly contact.
