arXiv:2604. 03208v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: World models are a promising path to zero-shot embodied control through planning.
arXiv:2606. 16489v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model-based Reinforcement Learning (MBRL) has achieved remarkable success in continuous control by leveraging latent world models.

arXiv:2607. 03964v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models are rapidly becoming a core infrastructure for embodied intelligence and interactive agents: they provide controllable simulators in which agents can perceive, act, forecast, and acquire scalable experience.
arXiv:2607. 04409v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning and planning in imagination using world models provides an effective paradigm for training agents for decision-making.
arXiv:2607. 18715v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models underpin much of modern model-based control, yet current action-conditioned formulations supervise the next-latent transition with a single, undifferentiated target, forcing a monolithic learning signal to absorb every source of state change.
arXiv:2605. 00412v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: World models have recently re-emerged as a central paradigm for embodied intelligence, robotics, autonomous driving, and model-based reinforcement learning.
arXiv:2607. 11270v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning, at its core, extends beyond memorization to the ability to reason and solve novel problems by navigating a space of possibilities.
arXiv:2608. 06994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) aim to construct a unified architecture capable of understanding world state evolution and guiding to generative motion planning.
Continually improving agents require dynamic interaction feedback beyond static supervision, yet direct real-environment interaction is costly, slow, unsafe, and hard to parallelize. World modeling offers a natural intermediate proxy that allows agents to query lower-cost, more controllable feedback before committing to real actions.
arXiv:2606. 31232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning visual world models for planning requires compact latent dynamics that remain sensitive to actions, yet reconstruction-free joint-embedding objectives can collapse to action-insensitive representations.
arXiv:2608. 06015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) is notoriously sample inefficient.
arXiv:2602. 06219v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: World models offer a promising avenue for more faithfully capturing complex dynamics, including contacts and non-rigidity, as well as complex sensory information, such as visual perception, in situations where standard simulators struggle.
Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) is notoriously sample inefficient. One contributing factor is that RL agents are typically initialized from scratch, forcing them to acquire task-relevant knowledge through online interaction.
