arXiv:2603. 13707v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Humanoid loco-manipulation requires coordinated task-space motion planning with stable loco-manipulation command tracking under complex robot-environment dynamics and long-horizon tasks.
Dynin‑Robotics introduces an omnimodal masked‑diffusion backbone, Dynin‑Omni, that jointly represents language, visual observations, goals, and actions as discrete tokens. By conditioning on different spans, the same model learns action prediction, next‑observation prediction, goal‑state prediction, and trajectory‑to‑instruction reconstruction, enabling test‑time scaling through goal prediction and action‑candidate evaluation. The system, pretrained on 1.33 million trajectories from 48 Open X‑Embodiment datasets, achieves competitive performance on LIBERO, zero‑shot LIBERO‑Plus, and a 78.4 % success rate on a Franka Research 3 robot, while a block‑parallel implementation speeds up action decoding by up to 29.2×.
GigaBrain-WBC-0.5 is a Behavior World Model that uses a causal Transformer to predict next actions, states, and a distribution over latent behavior commands for humanoid whole-body control. It incorporates an automatic terrain-annotation pipeline to recover 3D contact geometry from motion data, allowing the model to learn how terrain and objects influence dynamics. The system detects implausible commands online, retracts them onto learned behaviors, and achieves high success rates in terrain interaction, command robustness, and fall recovery, with promising hardware trials on different robots.
The paper introduces Movement Trend Guidance, a method that equips 3D diffusion policies with foresight by learning a compact latent representation of interaction evolution from a brief observation history. This latent, supervised by sparse future gripper states during training, serves as future-oriented conditioning during inference, enhancing action generation without adding explicit planning. The approach improves performance on RoboTwin2.0, LIBERO-40, and DexArt benchmarks, achieving higher success rates across multiple tasks.
SCRIPT is a scalable diffusion policy that uses a Joint Action-State-Text Diffusion Transformer (JAST‑DiT) to jointly encode actions, physical states, and natural‑language instructions, enabling direct interaction between language semantics and control dynamics. The method employs a multi‑stage training framework, including supervised imitation pre‑training, a nonlinear history conditioning mechanism for stable autoregressive control, and a post‑training stage with Reinforcement Learning with Hybrid Rewards (RLHR) that injects learnable noise to improve motion quality and instruction following. Experiments on the 1200‑hour MotionMillion dataset show that SCRIPT outperforms prior state‑of‑the‑art methods across text alignment, motion quality, and physical realism, and its performance scales consistently with model size.
