CLAP: Cross-Embodiment Video World Models are Zero-Shot Physical Simulators

CLAP is a cross-embodiment framework for action‑conditioned video generation that can be trained on diverse internet‑scale videos from both humans and robots. It reconciles different action spaces—end‑effector poses, language instructions, and latent actions—using a curriculum that first learns physics priors from unlabeled video and then grounds them in real‑world action spaces for zero‑shot deployment. The resulting models match or exceed state‑of‑the‑art single‑embodiment models in challenging environments and support few‑shot adaptation across a wide range of robot morphologies.
