Artificial general intelligence ultimately requires agents that can reason and act in the physical world. Action models, vision-language-action policies, and world models have advanced this goal, while World Action Models (WAMs) are particularly promising because they connect candidate interventions with predicted consequences.
The paper surveys Generative Physical Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), a field where large foundation models are integrated with physical robots. It introduces a taxonomy of five approaches—Robot Foundation Models, Vision‑Language Action models, Large Behavior Models, Diffusion Policy Models, and World Foundation Models—and discusses how they complement each other across domains such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, healthcare robotics, and humanoid systems. The review highlights performance gains, data‑efficient learning, sim‑to‑real transfer, edge‑compatible architectures, and safety frameworks as key research directions.
ProAct is a dual‑system framework for real‑time embodied social interaction that separates a low‑latency Behavioral System, which streams multimodal interaction and generates continuous non‑verbal motion, from a slower Cognitive System that performs long‑horizon social reasoning and produces proactive intentions. The Cognitive System uses an efficient memory mechanism and a user‑motivation prediction module to decide when to intervene, while the Behavioral System translates these intentions into fluid motion via an intention‑conditioned streaming flow‑matching generator with a disentangled ControlNet branch. The framework is deployed on a physical humanoid robot and validated through real‑world user studies, motion‑generation benchmarks, and a new ProActBench benchmark for proactive trigger detection and restraint.
The integration of large-scale foundation models with physical embodiments has led to significant advancements in robotics known as Generative Physical Artificial Intelligence (GPAI). These agentic AI...
General embodied agents should perceive, predict, act, evaluate, and improve within a unified system. World models have shown great promise in building such agents, yet existing models typically appen...
arXiv:2607. 00836v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models are increasingly used in embodied intelligence and generative simulation, yet their scope remains ambiguous across communities.
arXiv:2607. 02542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: General-purpose embodied agents must understand multimodal instructions, anticipate how their environment will evolve, and produce precise control actions over extended horizons.
SIMLIFE is a scalable platform that simulates long-term household life with rich visual observations, ground-truth action logs, and synthetic dialogues. It introduces the SimLife-BP benchmark, which tests long-context pattern understanding by requiring agents to infer latent behavioral rules from weeks or months of everyday observations across 106 episodes. The benchmark includes 1,439 question-answer pairs that probe direct, counterfactual, noisy, and inverse reasoning under varying rule hints.
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.
Motus2 is a self‑evolving general world model designed for dexterous manipulation. It integrates a shared‑weight model that offers three control interfaces—a policy, a simulator, and an evaluator—forming a closed decision‑and‑learning loop for policy improvement. The system scales both model size and data, progressing from large‑scale monocular egocentric data to synchronized stereo data and robot‑domain adaptation, while also incorporating tactile feedback and a biomimetic platform with dual arms and hands.
