arXiv:2606. 08775v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual world models have shown great potential in learning complex system dynamics.
arXiv:2607. 15065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predictive world models enable robots to plan by imagining the outcomes of their actions, but their value for control hinges on generating many rollouts quickly.

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.
arXiv:2608. 17163v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Off-policy reinforcement learning (RL) has become increasingly sample-efficient, enabling applications such as RL fine-tuning of Vision-Language-Action models into reliable, high-performing policies.
arXiv:2607. 29235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although world-action models (WAMs) enhance long-horizon robot control by predicting visual evolution before acting, long-horizon reliability demands repeated re-grounding in real observations--not recursive rollout.
arXiv:2602. 13977v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) promises to unlock capabilities beyond imitation learning for Vision--Language--Action (VLA) models, but its requirement for massive real-world interaction prevents direct deployment on physical robots.
arXiv:2607. 19919v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose Diffusion ReRoll, a diffusion-based framework for robotic sequential prediction that enables revisable denoising over horizons.
arXiv:2606. 09811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World-action models have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation, jointly modeling visual scene dynamics and actions to inject physical priors into policy learning.
arXiv:2607. 02431v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) can overcome the demonstration-coverage limitation of imitation learning (IL) by allowing robots to improve through trial-and-error interaction beyond the states observed in demonstrations.
arXiv:2606. 28385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in robot world models enable synthetic video generation for embodied prediction and planning.
arXiv:2606. 05758v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many modern vision-language models (VLMs) build on autoregressive decoding of discrete tokens.
arXiv:2606. 08657v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based visuomotor policies operating directly in raw action spaces conflate scene comprehension with trajectory generation within a single denoising process.
Neural world models coupled with model predictive control (MPC) replan at every environment step to bound accumulated prediction error, but this incurs substantial computational overhead. Reusing a cached plan reduces this overhead, yet its effectiveness depends on how prediction mismatch propagates through the local dynamics.
