When to Trust Imagination: Adaptive Action Execution for World Action Models

Abstract

World Action Models (WAMs) jointly predict future visual observations and actions, but typically execute a fixed number of actions before replanning, regardless of whether the imagined future remains consistent with reality. We formulate adaptive WAM execution as future--reality verification and propose Future Forward Dynamics Causal Attention (FFDC), a lightweight verifier that reasons over predicted actions, predicted visual dynamics, real observations, and instruction-conditioned semantics. FFDC allows continued execution when a plan remains reliable and triggers replanning when its validity deteriorates. We combine verification with Mixture-of-Horizon Training to improve long-horizon trajectory coverage. On RoboTwin, FFDC-WAM achieves the highest average success rate among the evaluated methods in both clean and randomized settings. Under randomization, it improves success by 2.54 percentage points over Base-Motus while reducing WAM planning calls by 69.10% and completion time by 33.88%. Notably, across six real-world tasks on a Unitree G1D robot, FFDC-WAM improves average success by 9.17% over Base-Motus-LC16 while reducing calls by 74.06% and completion time by 51.31%.
