PhysBrain 1.5: From Vision-Language Models to Physical Foundation Models

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

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.

PDRVLA: A Vision-Language-Action Model with Physical Dynamics Representations

PDRVLA is a Vision‑Language‑Action model that incorporates a lightweight Physical Dynamics Module to extract physical tokens from vision‑language features, enabling action generation without online video synthesis. The module predicts future RGB, depth, and optical‑flow features, guided by auxiliary supervision from a frozen pretrained video world model. Trained solely on publicly available data augmented with human‑to‑robot synthesis, subtask annotation, and embodied chain‑of‑thought (ECoT) annotation, PDRVLA achieves high success rates across four simulation benchmarks, with ablations demonstrating the benefits of world‑model supervision and various conditioning strategies.

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.
