Generalizable robot manipulation requires policies that can anticipate how visual scenes evolve while executing language instructions. While recent Vision-Language-Action models benefit from large-scale pretraining, their predominantly static pretraining objectives provide limited supervision for physical dynamics and temporal causality, leaving control-relevant knowledge to be learned from downstream robot demonstrations.

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.
