WorldForge V2 introduces a training‑free guidance framework that refines video diffusion outputs along a target camera path using warped references and optical‑flow‑identified latent channels for selective guidance. It employs a dual‑path strategy to correct artifacts, a v‑cache to reduce refinement cost, and Trajectory LoRA adapters trained in two stages to focus on trajectory‑responsive network blocks. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art generation quality and trajectory accuracy with minimal training data, enabling reliable camera control across unseen scenes.

Being‑M0.7 is a latent world‑action model that learns from a large mixed‑modality human dataset (over 10,000 hours of video‑only, motion‑only, and paired video‑motion data) to predict future latent visual states and motion. The model is pre‑trained on human data, adapted to robot viewpoints during mid‑training, and then combined with an action expert via gated cross‑attention during post‑training to produce executable whole‑body commands. In experiments, Being‑M0.7 outperforms baselines on the SIMPLE benchmark and matches the best baseline on real‑world Unitree G1 loco‑manipulation tasks.

The paper introduces NAVA-WAM, a method that learns action priors directly from observation-only videos to pretrain action policies for robots. It uses a two-stage training process: first, it pretrains on videos with future‑video flow‑matching supervision to learn action‑relevant priors, and second, it fine‑tunes with action‑labeled demonstrations for robot control. Experiments show that NAVA‑WAM outperforms previous methods in both in‑distribution and out‑of‑distribution scenarios, achieving strong action‑label efficiency and real‑robot generalization.

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.
