UNITAS: A 3D-Native World Action Model for Embodied Manipulation

World action models (WAMs) aim to answer a coupled physical question: given a task instruction, what motion should the robot execute, and how will that motion change the surrounding world? Most existing WAMs build on pretrained video generators and represent world evolution through images or visual latents. Robotic int...

RiCo: Neural Simulation of Rigid-Body Interactions via Local Contact Reasoning

Accurate simulation of rigid-body interactions is essential for predictive physical world models. Despite recent progress in modeling object dynamics, capturing how local contacts between surfaces shape object motion remains challenging. While end-to-end world models predict interactions across entire scenes or objects...

ViTacPhys: Physical Property-Aware Grasping from Human Visual-Tactile Demonstrations

Recent vision-based action models have demonstrated strong capabilities in complex manipulation, but they rarely leverage explicit object physical properties to adapt their policies. We introduce ViTacPhys, a visual-tactile framework and data acquisition system that estimates object mass and friction-coefficient classe...

TaskAnchor: Grounding Task State in Reactive VLAs for Long-Horizon Manipulation

This paper proposes TaskAnchor, a lightweight adapter that grounds task state by injecting execution context into the VLA's native input space, and real-robot experiments further validate reliable multi-stage execution.

TaskAnchor: Grounding Task State in Reactive VLAs for Long-Horizon Manipulation

Reactive vision--language--action (VLA) models struggle with long-horizon manipulation when visually similar observations can correspond to different actions depending on the task stage or interaction history. We refer to this ambiguity as task-state aliasing and introduce TaskAnchor, a lightweight adapter that grounds...

RoboSynChallenge: Mastering Real-World Dexterity via Generalizing Synthesized Manipulation Skills

The RoboSynChallenge competition introduces a unified benchmark to evaluate and advance the generalizability of manipulation policies across a spectrum of tasks, environments, and difficulty levels and aims to foster the development of broadly capable, data-efficient, and adaptable manipulation systems, thereby paving...

Vid2WAM: Distilling Video Diffusion Priors into World Action Models

Vid2WAM is proposed, an offline distillation framework that transfers visual diffusion priors from a large video foundation model into a compact WAM student and introduces source-aware residual action adaptation that learns source-specific corrections around a shared action backbone and mitigates interference from nois...
