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.

VLA‑Δ introduces a framework that explicitly learns physical state transitions for vision‑language‑action models, using changes between current and future states as learning targets. The authors build a large‑scale pretraining dataset with physical state‑transition annotations that cover task‑relevant semantics and visual motion changes, providing direct supervision for continuous action generation. The resulting model performs competitively on LIBERO and RoboTwin benchmarks and outperforms π₀.₅ in real‑robot experiments, while requiring no extra inference overhead.
