Manipulation, locomotion, sim-to-real transfer and autonomous driving: learning systems that have to survive physics.
World models offer a promising route toward robot planning by enabling agents to imagine and verify the consequences of actions before execution. However, current video-based world models often struggle to capture the physical constraints that govern manipulation, particularly contact.
Personalizing large language models (LLMs) to individual users is essential for improving user experience, yet existing approaches typically rely on explicit preference supervision such as pairwise comparisons or demographic attributes, limiting their applicability in natural interaction settings. We propose IRIS, a framework that learns dynamic user personas directly from implicit interaction streams by extracting behavioral signals from everyday conversations and iteratively refining persona representations through a prediction-driven closed loop without requiring explicit feedback.
World models must learn the joint dynamics of states, actions, events, and observations, yet existing video, robotics, and simulation datasets usually capture only part of this structure. We introduce CG-World, a large-scale world-state dataset and protocol derived from industrial computer graphics production pipelines.
arXiv:2607. 25912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown strong potential for general robot manipulation, but most existing models rely on 2D visual-language backbones and lack fine-grained 3D understanding of target objects, especially under occlusion, pose variation, scale changes, and precise spatial interaction.
