Mem-World: Memory-Augmented Action-Conditioned World Models for Persistent Robot Manipulation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

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.

DELE-w0.5: Inferring Action from Future Latent State for Robotic Manipulation

DELE-w0.5 is a robotic manipulation framework that predicts future latent states instead of generating full video sequences, thereby inferring robot actions directly from these compact representations. By focusing on physical state changes rather than visual transitions, it reduces model complexity and inference latency. In 480 real‑robot trials across four long‑horizon tasks, DELE‑w0.5 achieved 62.5 % overall task success and 81.3 % macro ordered‑stage progress, outperforming the strongest baseline by 47.5 and 30.7 percentage points.

World-Action Models for Robot Learning and Control: A Survey

The survey "World-Action Models for Robot Learning and Control" reviews recent advances in coupling future world prediction with executable action generation for robots in open environments. It clarifies the scope of World-Action Models (WAMs) relative to conventional world models, model-based RL, and Vision‑Language‑Action policies, and organizes existing methods through a unified taxonomy covering representations, transition modeling, action interfaces, architectures, training pipelines, data modalities, and scaling strategies. The paper also surveys applications in manipulation, navigation, and autonomous driving, summarizes datasets, benchmarks, and metrics, and discusses key challenges such as action alignment, spatial consistency, long‑horizon memory, and efficient inference.
