World Action Agent: Harnessing VLMs for Robot Manipulation via World Action Rehearsal

World Action Agent (WAA) is a multi‑agent framework that lets vision‑language models (VLMs) directly pilot robots by operating within a visual action workspace. The workspace provides automatically selected contact views, editable action rehearsals, and in‑view correction to refine decisions before low‑level execution. WAA learns procedural skills from expert videos and human teaching, and its interaction traces can train smaller VLMs, achieving state‑of‑the‑art success on LIBERO‑Pro and improving out‑of‑domain performance on robosuite and Qwen3.5‑9B.

Make Code as Policy Great Again: Frontier Agents Write, Call, and Evolve Robot Tools

The paper introduces URAI, a Universal Robot‑Agent Interface that separates robot control into two roles: a programming agent that writes reusable, task‑specific tools from intent, and an execution agent that calls these tools in a feedback loop. This design keeps high‑level decision making in the model while delegating low‑level motion to code, allowing tool revisions to persist across episodes without retraining the foundation model. Experiments on RoboDojo and AgileX tasks show significant gains in success rate, speed, and token efficiency compared to direct fingertip control and pre‑written programs.
