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.
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 survey "World-Action Models for Robot Learning and Control" reviews recent advances in coupling future world prediction with executable action generation for robots in open environments. It clarifies the scope of World-Action Models (WAMs) relative to conventional world models, model-based RL, and Vision‑Language‑Action policies, and organizes existing methods through a unified taxonomy covering representations, transition modeling, action interfaces, architectures, training pipelines, data modalities, and scaling strategies. The paper also surveys applications in manipulation, navigation, and autonomous driving, summarizes datasets, benchmarks, and metrics, and discusses key challenges such as action alignment, spatial consistency, long‑horizon memory, and efficient inference.
