OpenWAM: An Open, Modular Exploration Towards Systematic World-Action Model Pretraining

World-Action Models inherit world knowledge from video-generative priors, and channel it into executable control signals through embodied experience. Existing systems, however, are monolithic: the generative backbone, visual representation, architecture, information flow, inference procedure, and training data are tigh...

GroundingPI: A Grounding Foundation Model towards Physical Intelligence with Visual Primitives

Precise grounding matters. It specifies which object is the target and where that object is, even in clutter and for tiny objects, and it has to be fast enough for closed-loop control. Yet vision-language-action (VLA) and world-action models (WAMs) take perception from general-purpose vision-language and video-generati...

RMBench: Memory-Dependent Robotic Manipulation Benchmark with Insights into Policy Design

RMBench is introduced, a simulation benchmark comprising 9 manipulation tasks that span multiple levels of memory complexity, enabling systematic evaluation of policy memory capabilities and Mem-0, a modular manipulation policy with explicit memory components designed to support controlled ablation studies.

SoftVTBench: A Deformation-Aware Visuo-Tactile Dataset and Benchmark for Deformable-Object Manipulation

Results show that making touch available does not by itself ensure effective multimodal fusion, and SoftVTBench provides a common visuo-tactile resource for studying not only whether a policy succeeds, but how it physically interacts with deformable objects and when touch improves that interaction.

Rethinking Token Reweighting for SFT: Suppress, Reverse, and Extrapolate Learned Features

SCALE (Selective Control of Adaptation via Local Entropy), an entropy-guided adaptation-strength-control method that freezes the pretrained model and the SFT delta and learns bounded token- and module-specific gates by minimizing predictive entropy alone is proposed.

UMI-Bridge: Action-Anchored Latent Alignment across Human and Robot Manipulation Data

UMI-Bridge, which uses UMI as an intermediate domain to align representations according to action equivalence rather than pixel similarity, supports action-anchored latent alignment for data-efficient robot learning and UMI-to-robot task transfer.

Decision-Metric Alignment in Latent World Models: Diagnostics and Action-Conditioned Objectives for MPC Planning

Action-conditioned objectives improve the geometry used by Euclidean-cost, CEM-based latent MPC, and DA-LeWM augments LeWM with inverse-dynamics and demonstration-conditioned goal-action heads, and accelerates convergence and achieves higher online success than LeWM.

GaussianWAM: Distilling Geometry and Semantics from 3D Gaussian Fields into World-Action Models

GaussianWAM is proposed, a training-time representation-enhancement framework that organizes geometric and semantic supervision through a 3D Gaussian field and improves performance on standard LIBERO and shows positive transfer trends on RoboTwin and real-world manipulation.
