arXiv:2606. 03943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video-Action Models (VAMs) leverage the broad visual dynamics captured by pre-trained video diffusion models, offering a promising path toward generalizable robot manipulation.
The paper introduces Spatially Aware World Action Model (SA‑WAM), a diffusion‑based framework that extends existing World Action Models by incorporating depth information alongside RGB to enable 3‑D‑aware action and future‑state prediction. SA‑WAM repurposes a pretrained video diffusion model, using a nonlinear encoding to map unbounded depth into the tokenizer’s bounded domain, thus preserving pretrained visual priors without 3‑D‑specific fine‑tuning. The model achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on RoboCasa and LIBERO‑Plus benchmarks and demonstrates superior real‑world performance on a UR5 robotic arm in randomized environments, while also providing analysis linking world‑model prediction quality to rollout success.
Mem-World introduces a memory‑augmented action‑conditioned world model for robot manipulation, featuring W‑VMem—a 4D wrist‑view‑centered surfel‑indexed memory that anchors historical observations to evolving surface elements. By explicitly modeling when and where scene elements are observed, the system retrieves geometry‑aware history frames during generation, providing informative, non‑redundant context for future action predictions. Experiments demonstrate that Mem‑World produces persistent rollouts, improves policy evaluation reliability (14.5 % higher Pearson correlation with real‑world performance), and boosts long‑horizon task success rates from 58 % to 72 % using synthetic data generation.
