Artificial general intelligence ultimately requires agents that can reason and act in the physical world. Action models, vision-language-action policies, and world models have advanced this goal, while World Action Models (WAMs) are particularly promising because they connect candidate interventions with predicted consequences.

arXiv:2607. 03283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Embodied intelligence systems require not only end-to-end policy models, but also reusable functional modules that transform multimodal observations, robot states, human demonstrations, and task contexts into structured representations, decisions, trajectories, control references, and system services.

The paper surveys Generative Physical Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), a field where large foundation models are integrated with physical robots. It introduces a taxonomy of five approaches—Robot Foundation Models, Vision‑Language Action models, Large Behavior Models, Diffusion Policy Models, and World Foundation Models—and discusses how they complement each other across domains such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, healthcare robotics, and humanoid systems. The review highlights performance gains, data‑efficient learning, sim‑to‑real transfer, edge‑compatible architectures, and safety frameworks as key research directions.
