NEMSim: Learning Control-Conditioned Multi-Event Physical Dynamics via Executable Event-Mechanism Priors

NEMSim is a neural simulator that incorporates executable event‑mechanism priors to model control‑conditioned multi‑event physical dynamics. By compiling predefined event‑attribute descriptions into a transition structure, it links control‑dependent event intensities, prior‑guided mechanism attribution, and state‑dependent responses. In a 3D KMC benchmark, NEMSim achieves 58.9%–81.3% lower RMSE than the strongest baseline and remains superior even with only 10% of training data, demonstrating that rule integration drives its performance gains.

Cortex: A Bidirectionally Aligned Embodied Agent Framework for Long-horizon Manipulation

arXiv:2607. 05377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models show promise toward generalist manipulation policies, they struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their Markovian nature-relying solely on current observations.

A Neuromorphic Reinforcement Learning Framework for Efficient Pathfinding in Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems

arXiv:2606. 20031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic environmental changes, confined workspaces, and stringent real-time constraints make pathfinding in Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems (RMFS) a challenging problem for conventional search- and rule-based methods, which typically suffer from high computational complexity and long decision latency.

Hierarchical World Models with Implicit Dynamics

Hierarchical World Models with Implicit Dynamics (ID‑WM) introduces a two‑level approach that separates state‑space reachability from local control. A high‑level model samples feasible transitions across the state manifold, while a low‑level world model acts as an inverse dynamics solver to translate these transitions into precise actions. This design enables planners to identify reachable subgoals without being constrained by low‑level execution details, producing novel long‑horizon plans that outperform state‑of‑the‑art policy and diffusion‑based planners by 38.5% and single‑level MPC by 135% in complex, unseen configurations.
