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 …
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 …
World Action Models (WAMs) emerge as a promising foundation for policy refinement by predicting the consequences of sampled actions. However, visually plausible predictions can mislead policy refinement if they fail to reflect the input actions. To address this mismatch, we introduce $R^2$-WAM, a two-stage repair-and-r …
Mobile humanoid manipulation requires both reaching a usable workspace and preserving precise hand-object interactions as object poses and contact conditions change. Learning these behaviors from limited task-specific data remains challenging. To bridge this gap, we introduce Praxis, a whole-body manipulation framework …
