Attacca is a new approach for training visual goal‑conditioned policies that can handle continuous long‑horizon task execution in embodied agents. It decouples goal images from the execution environment by sampling class‑compatible masked goals from other worlds, enabling the policy to ground targets in the current view via a target‑mask prediction head. The method also introduces behavioral‑phase conditioning to distinguish Search, Approach, and Interact stages, and achieves significant performance gains on Minecraft tasks, outperforming baselines by up to 7× on long‑horizon scenarios.

The paper introduces Instruct-to-Act, a system that decouples high‑level planning from low‑latency control by combining a vision‑language model (VLM) planner with a world‑model controller. The VLM generates sparse, high‑level text instructions, while the controller executes them autonomously at high frequency. Experiments across seven embodied environments, including multi‑agent settings, show that this approach outperforms both controller‑only and direct VLM action‑generation methods, maintains fast control, and allows swapping in different pretrained VLM planners without fine‑tuning.
arXiv:2608. 06756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models are increasingly serving as the reasoning core of embodied agents.
The paper introduces Instruct-to-Act, a system that decouples planning and control by combining a vision‑language model (VLM) planner with a world‑model controller. The VLM generates sparse, high‑level text instructions, while the controller executes them at high frequency, trained via relabeling rollouts with synthetic instructions and joint optimization of behavior cloning, reward, and world‑model objectives. Across seven embodied environments—including multi‑agent settings—this approach outperforms controller‑only and direct VLM action methods, maintains fast control, and allows swapping pretrained VLM planners without fine‑tuning, achieving competitive results with strong baselines on most tasks.
