PhysBrain 1.5 is a unified vision‑language model that learns to understand physical environments, generate actions, and predict future states by encoding language, end‑effector motion, and dense visual targets as discrete sequences and training them with autoregressive next‑token prediction. The model is pre‑trained on human interaction videos and fine‑tuned on human demonstrations, robot trajectories, and simulated experience, achieving an average score of 72.5 across 28 embodied understanding benchmarks and outperforming other open‑source models on 14 of them. It also demonstrates the ability to produce end‑effector trajectories and predict future scenes with spatially aligned RGB, depth, and robot‑mask outputs.

The paper introduces GTA‑VLA, an interactive Vision‑Language‑Action framework that lets users guide robot policies with explicit visual cues such as affordance points, boxes, and traces. Unlike traditional direct sense‑to‑act models, GTA‑VLA incorporates a spatial‑visual Chain‑of‑Thought that blends human guidance with internal task planning, and couples this reasoning module with a lightweight reactive action head for efficient execution. Experiments on the SimplerEnv WidowX benchmark show a state‑of‑the‑art 81.2 % success rate, and the framework significantly improves task success under out‑of‑domain visual shifts and spatial ambiguities, demonstrating the benefit of interactive reasoning for failure recovery in embodied control.
