A vision--language--action (VLA) policy can complete complex tasks while ignoring the evidence that should determine its actions. An object held near the wrist camera can displace the instructed target. Language and action show the same pattern: a familiar noun can trigger the operation it was paired with in training e …
Video world models are expected to predict how the physical world evolves, yet they often produce visually plausible videos that violate basic physical principles. Existing approaches commonly assume that natural language is insufficient to represent the physical knowledge required for reliable generation, and therefor …
Evaluating the physical consistency of generated videos remains a fundamental challenge. Existing approaches rely on off-the-shelf vision-language models, which can often be myopic to physical dynamics, or fine-tuned evaluators trained on human annotations, which overfit to dataset-specific cues and fail to generalize. …
