arXiv:2608. 09876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physically consistent motion planning remains a fundamental challenge in embodied AI, as generated trajectories must strictly conform to real-world execution dynamics.

arXiv:2606. 13053v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pretrained-feature world models provide a useful substrate for robot imagination, but visual or latent prediction alone does not determine whether an imagined future satisfies task-relevant events.
By Kailin Wang, Haoxiang Jie, Yaoyuan Yan, Jiacheng Zhou, Zhiyou Heng
arXiv:2608. 12939v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn world models that predict in a compact latent space rather than in pixels, reducing the pressure to model nuisance appearance.

arXiv:2608. 11605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) couple future visual prediction with robot action generation, enabling policies to model how the physical world evolves during interaction.

arXiv:2608. 01049v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models have attracted significant attention for their ability to capture and predict the structure and dynamics of the physical world.

arXiv:2607. 27017v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A central premise of latent world models is that predicting the future forces a representation to internalize the physics of its environment.

arXiv:2608. 15483v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern deep networks are trained through long update trajectories, yet their temporal organization remains less systematically characterized than architectures, losses, or optimizers.

arXiv:2606. 16076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate forecasting in physical systems requires models that predict coupled temporal variables while preserving meaningful state evolution.

arXiv:2606. 13817v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models in robot learning predict future states from visual observations and actions, enabling agents to reason about the consequences of their controls.
By Yitao Jiang, Luyang Zhao, Muhao Chen, Devin Balkcom
arXiv:2608. 14530v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interactive game world models typically autoregress visual observations directly in pixel or latent space, forcing structured properties such as pose, geometry, and occlusion to be implicitly maintained by the same generative sequence.
By Zian Meng, Zhen Li, Chuanhao Li, Qiang Li, Kaipeng Zhang
arXiv:2606. 17572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learned dynamics models often answer global physical questions, such as fault severity or impact stiffness, by pooling a per-step feature sequence into one readout vector.
