The paper introduces CSWAM, a Causal Semantic World Action Model that enhances FastWAM by integrating a causal semantic expert based on V-JEPA 2.1. This expert provides temporally grounded, appearance‑agnostic representations of semantic state changes and motion, leveraging sparse observation history and causal attention to improve action‑only inference. Experiments on simulation and real‑robot tasks show that CSWAM significantly boosts out‑of‑distribution generalization, raising success rates from 10.16% to 45.18% on RoboTwin 2.0 and from 27.5% to 70.0% across real‑robot tasks.

PAVXploreRL introduces a reinforcement learning framework that builds on a pretrained latent world model to explicitly optimize Physical Plausibility, Action Adherence, and Visual Fidelity (PAV) objectives. By combining in‑distribution expert trajectories with noise‑driven out‑of‑distribution action exploration, the method avoids reliance on paired video supervision and improves generalization. Experiments demonstrate a 5.6% average performance gain over pretrained baselines and more reliable policy evaluation with reduced overestimation bias.
