HumanScale: Egocentric Human Video Can Outperform Real-Robot Data for Embodied Pretraining

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Embodied foundation models are expected to benefit from data scaling like large language models, but face a much tighter data bottleneck. Teleoperated real-robot trajectories remain the dominant pretraining source due to their precise action supervision and embodiment alignment, yet their scalability is limited by high collection cost, acquisition difficulty, and low behavioral and environmental diversity.

Ego4WAM: What Matters When Scaling Egocentric Human Data for Robot Learning?

Ego4WAM investigates how various properties of egocentric human data—such as human‑robot alignment, data duration, task diversity, and supervision type—affect robot learning. The study, conducted under a unified world‑action model framework, shows that aligned demonstrations improve out‑of‑distribution generalization and lower the amount of target‑task robot data needed. It also finds that video‑only supervision remains effective, and that data duration and task diversity influence downstream capabilities in distinct ways, as validated on real robots and RoboDojo.

AtomEgo: Exploring Ego-Robot Integration for Embodied Foundation Model Pretraining

AtomEgo investigates how to integrate large-scale egocentric human interaction data into embodied foundation model pre‑training. The study uses a curated 2,659‑hour corpus and a scalable data pipeline to evaluate three co‑training paradigms across vision‑language‑action and world‑action architectures. Results show that the benefit of egocentric data depends on both its scale and the quality of alignment with robotic embodiment, offering practical guidance for scalable ego‑robot pre‑training.

ZimaBlue: Evolving Generalizable World Action Models through Scalable Video Pre-training

ZimaBlue is a scalable framework that learns generalizable World Action Models (WAMs) from large-scale egocentric videos. It follows a three-stage curriculum: causal video pre‑training, video‑action mid‑training with a unified action representation, and final specialization to a target robot. The system employs an asynchronous Slow‑Fast architecture to enable real‑time 30 Hz action prediction, achieving a jump in real‑robot zero‑shot success from 36.1% to 77.8% when leveraging over 120,000 hours of embodied video.

InternW0-$\Delta$: A World Action Model Bridging Predictive Dynamics and Actions with 20K+ Hours of Open Data

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.
