GeoLAM: Learning Geometry-Grounded Latent Actions from Unlabeled Human Videos

GeoLAM is a framework that learns geometry‑grounded latent actions from unlabeled human videos. It uses future‑frame reconstruction with a frozen geometric feature hierarchy and motion supervision from a 4D geometry teacher to capture 3D displacement, image‑plane motion, and surface‑orientation changes. After pretraining, the representation serves as transition targets for a world‑action model trained on robot demonstrations, enabling denoised latent actions and executable action chunks without requiring hand‑pose annotations or future‑video generation during deployment.
