Bridging Body and Brain: Gene-Driven Morphology--Control Co-Design

The paper introduces Morphogene, a compact latent blueprint that links an agent’s body and control policy, enabling coordinated changes at the limb level through AdaConcat. Building on this, GeCode treats co-design as exploration within Morphogene space, using local refinement and global exploration to efficiently navigate design regions. Experiments on various 2D and 3D tasks show that GeCode outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving faster convergence and higher performance.

From World Action Models to Embodied Brains: A Roadmap for Open-World Physical Intelligence

Artificial general intelligence ultimately requires agents that can reason and act in the physical world. Action models, vision-language-action policies, and world models have advanced this goal, while World Action Models (WAMs) are particularly promising because they connect candidate interventions with predicted consequences.
