arXiv:2608. 07870v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Improving sample efficiency remains a core challenge in reinforcement learning (RL), especially in real-world settings like robotics, where data collection is costly.
PAVXploreRL introduces a reinforcement learning framework that builds on a pretrained latent world model to explicitly optimize Physical Plausibility, Action Adherence, and Visual Fidelity (PAV) objectives. By combining in‑distribution expert trajectories with noise‑driven out‑of‑distribution action exploration, the method avoids reliance on paired video supervision and improves generalization. Experiments demonstrate a 5.6% average performance gain over pretrained baselines and more reliable policy evaluation with reduced overestimation bias.
As autonomous vehicle capabilities advance, the safe evaluation of driving policies in long-tail scenarios remains a critical bottleneck. In closed-loop simulation, the driving policy model actively interacts with the environment, where its actions dynamically update the simulator state and directly influence the next set of generated sensor observations.
The paper introduces a feedback world model that updates predictions online using the robot’s observed next state after each action, thereby closing the loop between prediction and observation. This lightweight feedback state corrects future predictions without extra training or parameter updates, and the authors provide convergence guarantees under bounded dynamics residuals. Experiments on LIBERO‑Plus, Robomimic, and real‑world tasks show significant reductions in prediction error (up to 76.4%) and improved policy performance, even when applied to pretrained foundation models like Fast‑WAM‑Joint.

arXiv:2606. 07974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A learned world model provides a powerful physical intuition for evaluating future states.
The paper introduces Planning Under Noise (PUN), a neural operator that learns noise‑aware value fields for planning in unseen geometries. By imposing reflecting Neumann conditions on obstacles and a Dirichlet condition at the goal, PUN allows sampled paths to explore free space until reaching the target. It extends the Monte Carlo solver Walk on Stars to higher dimensions, learns geometry‑to‑field mappings from noisy labels, and achieves high success rates and low runtimes on 4‑D replanning benchmarks across multiple noise levels.
