The paper introduces NAVA-WAM, a method that learns action priors directly from observation-only videos to pretrain action policies for robots. It uses a two-stage training process: first, it pretrains on videos with future‑video flow‑matching supervision to learn action‑relevant priors, and second, it fine‑tunes with action‑labeled demonstrations for robot control. Experiments show that NAVA‑WAM outperforms previous methods in both in‑distribution and out‑of‑distribution scenarios, achieving strong action‑label efficiency and real‑robot generalization.

InternW0-Δ is a unified World Action Model that integrates pretrained visual dynamics, scene semantics, 4D geometry, and motion priors within a Mixture-of-Transformers framework to generate robot actions. It leverages a frozen VLM for semantic guidance, a 4D foundation model for geometric priors, and introduces Causal Imprint to learn future-relevant scene changes without future-video rollout. The model is pretrained on a newly curated 20K‑hour heterogeneous corpus of robot and human demonstrations, achieving superior performance on simulation benchmarks and real‑robot platforms.

The paper introduces HWAM, a Humanoid World Action Model that jointly generates reference actions and the robot’s post‑execution proprioceptive state, thereby closing the action‑execution gap in hierarchical humanoid systems. HWAM is trained via three conditional paths—policy denoising, forward dynamics modeling, and inverse dynamics modeling—to align policy outputs, executed motion, and visual outcomes. Experiments on the LimX OLI humanoid show HWAM achieving a 70.6% success rate on Candy Picking, outperforming Fast‑WAM’s 43.3%.
