PhysBrain 1.5 is a unified vision‑language model that learns to understand physical environments, generate actions, and predict future states by encoding language, end‑effector motion, and dense visual targets as discrete sequences and training them with autoregressive next‑token prediction. The model is pre‑trained on human interaction videos and fine‑tuned on human demonstrations, robot trajectories, and simulated experience, achieving an average score of 72.5 across 28 embodied understanding benchmarks and outperforming other open‑source models on 14 of them. It also demonstrates the ability to produce end‑effector trajectories and predict future scenes with spatially aligned RGB, depth, and robot‑mask outputs.

Human-pet interaction estimation and generation remain underexplored due to the absence of a high-quality large-scale dataset. We present InterPet4D, the first multimodal dataset capturing natural interactions between humans and dogs.
RobotEQ-Video is a new video-centric benchmark designed to advance Social Proactive Intelligence (SPI) by moving beyond static image analysis. It introduces a hierarchical world-state taxonomy with 6 domains, 20 dimensions, 142 level‑1 attributes, and 816 level‑2 attributes, and includes over 2,000 videos annotated with 100,000+ human labels and 16,000+ behavior‑properness tags. Evaluation shows existing systems underperform humans, highlighting the need for richer video data and comprehensive scenario coverage in SPI research.

The paper introduces a biologically inspired framework that learns object‑centric visual representations from raw videos without human annotations or camera calibration. By using motion boundaries detected via optical flow and clustering to create pseudo‑instance masks, the method supervises a single‑image encoder with pixel‑level pairwise metric learning. Training on 195 million pseudo‑labeled frames and expanding to 421 million frames through Motion‑Verified Self‑Training, the approach yields Swin‑based encoders that outperform or match supervised and self‑supervised baselines on tasks such as monocular depth estimation, 3D object detection, 3D occupancy prediction, and end‑to‑end planning.
