Being-M0.7: A Latent World-Action Model for Humanoid Robots

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.

ForeAct3D: Policy-Grounded Future World Modeling for VLA Policies

ForeAct3D is a framework that grounds future world modeling in Vision‑Language‑Action policies by decoding depth, semantic segmentation, and camera pose from policy representations into current and future 3D scene states. The future queries are conditioned on the policy‑generated action chunk, and a physical‑consistency closure enforces background staticity, instance‑level rigidity, and wrist‑camera pose alignment with end‑effector kinematics. This approach eliminates the need for future prediction at inference and achieves high success rates on LIBERO and CALVIN, outperforming the base policy across all suites.

LaWAM: Latent World Action Models for Efficient Dynamics-Aware Robot Policies

arXiv:2606. 15768v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) leverage large-scale vision-language pretraining for semantic robot control, but often lack explicit foresight into how robot actions change the scene.

DELE-w0.5: Inferring Action from Future Latent State for Robotic Manipulation

DELE-w0.5 is a robotic manipulation framework that predicts future latent states instead of generating full video sequences, thereby inferring robot actions directly from these compact representations. By focusing on physical state changes rather than visual transitions, it reduces model complexity and inference latency. In 480 real‑robot trials across four long‑horizon tasks, DELE‑w0.5 achieved 62.5 % overall task success and 81.3 % macro ordered‑stage progress, outperforming the strongest baseline by 47.5 and 30.7 percentage points.

Humanoid World Action Model With Joint State--Action Generation

The paper introduces HWAM, a Humanoid World Action Model that jointly generates reference actions and the robot’s post‑execution proprioceptive state, thereby closing the action‑execution gap in hierarchical humanoid systems. HWAM is trained via three conditional paths—policy denoising, forward dynamics modeling, and inverse dynamics modeling—to align policy outputs, executed motion, and visual outcomes. Experiments on the LimX OLI humanoid show HWAM achieving a 70.6% success rate on Candy Picking, outperforming Fast‑WAM’s 43.3%.

MAVP: Map-Aware Visuomotor Policies for Mobile Manipulation

MAVP (Map-Aware Visuomotor Policies) is a framework that enhances mobile manipulation by predicting explicit base-pose targets and tracking them with localisation feedback. It reconstructs a static map from teleoperated demonstrations, expressing base trajectories in a shared map frame to provide consistent spatial supervision. During execution, the policy uses RGB observations, joint states, and the robot’s current map-frame base pose to jointly predict target base poses, arm actions, and gripper actions, while a low‑level controller corrects deviations using feedforward motion and pose error feedback. Pose‑noise augmentation during training further improves robustness, and MAVP outperforms unanchored velocity control across six real‑world tasks and three policy families.
