DiffWAM is a geometry‑conditioned navigation world‑action model that transforms predictive features from a frozen video foundation model into continuous camera trajectories, eliminating the need for future‑video synthesis and multi‑frame reconstruction during deployment. Its Grid‑Motion module preserves spatial‑temporal motion associations, while Latent2Pose grounds them with first‑frame geometry to recover metrically meaningful 3D motion. The system, complemented by FastDreamer for asynchronous trajectory handoff, achieves a trajectory RMSE of 0.3492 m and a 74.40 % endpoint success rate on the DiffWAM‑1000 benchmark, with real‑world tests showing complex UAV behaviors and an onboard implementation reaching 1.08 s latency on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor.

PhysWAM is a unified world-action model for autonomous driving that jointly denoises multiview video, metric depth, and ego motion using a flow‑matching transformer. It introduces Coupled Point Projection (CPP), a geometric constraint that aligns generated depth points with LiDAR data after applying the predicted SE(3) ego motion, thereby enforcing physical consistency. At inference, trajectory selection uses a simple label‑free consensus rule, and the model demonstrates strong planning performance, zero‑shot transfer to unseen environments, and accurate, temporally coherent depth and video predictions.

The paper introduces CalfVO, a monocular visual odometry system that operates without camera intrinsics, test‑time optimization, bundle adjustment, or loop closure. Using a transformer, it predicts relative poses with separate rotation and translation confidences over overlapping image windows, then aggregates these predictions via a confidence‑weighted module to produce a single trajectory. CalfVO achieves the highest accuracy among calibration‑free methods across five benchmarks and runs at 53 FPS, outperforming all baselines.

GeoState introduces a view‑decoupled geometry representation for predictive 3D world modeling, separating scene‑state evolution from camera‑dependent observation. It aggregates multi‑view geometry foundation model features into a scene tokenizer, then uses a geometry decoder to query this state with camera rays. An autoregressive world model predicts future scene states while modeling camera motion independently, enabling consistent decoding under any camera and maintaining a single context‑derived scale throughout rollouts.

The paper introduces MESSENGER, a memory‑enhanced sequential scene flow estimation framework that uses a memory buffer to store past flow estimates and latent states. By retrieving and correlating these stored flows for each new frame, the method performs next‑frame forecasting and incorporates an uncertainty‑aware reweighting module to reduce error accumulation. Experiments on nuScenes and Argoverse 2 show significant improvements, reducing EPE3D by 71.6% and 67.7% respectively in long‑horizon predictions.

MM-Future is a world-action model for autonomous driving that generates multiple paired scene-action hypotheses and captures bidirectional interaction within each pair. It initializes each hypothesis from a structured action prior and an independent future scene source, then co-evolves them using a modality-aware diffusion Transformer. The model compresses multi-view video into planning-oriented MM-Tokens and uses a future-conditioned proposal scorer to rank trajectory candidates, achieving strong performance on NAVSIM and HUGSIM benchmarks.
