An interactive world model developed by NVIDIA in collaboration with academic partners. - DreamDojo turns egocentric human video data into physical intelligence. - Human data is more scalable than robotics data but lacks action labels. - To solve this, a dedicated action model extracts latent actions by identifying physics and motion deltas between frames. Training - A massive 44k hours of video data are used for pre-training. - Post-training on small-scale robot datasets maps human physics to specific robot embodiments. - An additional distillation stage converts the model into an autoregressive, few-step diffusion model, enabling real-time, action-controllable simulation. Primary Use Cases - Live Teleoperation: Controlling a robot inside a world simulation in real-time. - Model-based Planning: Previewing and curating the best actions for improved success. - Policy Evaluation: Testing robot policies in realistic, out-of-distribution scenarios. Everything that's open-sourced: weights, code, post-training dataset, eval set, and details to reproduce.

A humanoid robot policy trained solely on synthetic data generated by a world model. Research Scientist Joel Jang presents NVIDIA's DreamGen pipeline: ⦿ Post-train the world model Cosmos-Predict2 with a small set of real teleoperation demos. ⦿ Prompt the world model to generate synthetic video data with verbs and scenarios not used in the world model’s post-training. ⦿ Auto-label synthetic video data with action sequences. ⦿ Train robot policies using only synthetic data. That's it. Deploy zero-shot to a real humanoid robot.

Diffusion has shown great promise for generating robot **actions**, can it act as a **world model** to generate the future conditioned on actions? In our work led by han qi Haocheng Yin and in collaboration with Yilun Du, we show a **controllable** action-conditioned video diffusion model can produce photorealistic and (near) physics-accurate future predictions. This ability strengthens the policy via: - ranking different action proposals and selecting the best, or - **visual** trajectory optimization by optimizing the action proposals using gradient ascent.

We’re excited to share DiT4DiT, an end-to-end Video-Action Model for robot learning that unifies a video Diffusion Transformer and an action Diffusion Transformer in a single cascaded framework. By leveraging the rich spatiotemporal and physical dynamics learned through video generation, rather than static image-text priors, DiT4DiT achieves state-of-the-art results on LIBERO (98.6%) and RoboCasa GR1 (50.8%) with far less training data, delivering over 10× better sample efficiency and up to 7× faster convergence. Real-world deployment on a humanoid robot further shows robust generalization. We believe this is a step toward making video generation a powerful backbone for robot policy learning. This work builds upon the brilliant foundations laid by Nvidia's GR00T and Cosmos. Project: Paper: Code: Coming soon. In the meantime, you can ask your coding agent to reproduce the method based on GR00T/Cosmos.

Six months ago, on the first-ever episode of The Humanoid Hub, Eric Jang discussed World Models as something that wasn't being taken seriously as the core of AI systems. Today, 1X introduced a robotics policy that turns that vision into reality, converting video generation from World Models into real-world robot actions.

This is THE moment of Physical AI! We are officially announcing Cosmos 3: Omnimodal World Models for Physical AI 🚀 - Cosmos 3 is an omnimodal world model: within a unified architecture, it can understand and generate language, images, video, audio, and actions. - It is not just a VLM, not just a video generator, not just an audio-visual generative model, and not just a physics simulator / world-action model. It can understand images and videos, generate images, videos, and audio, simulate future worlds, predict actions, and generate robot policies—enabling models to truly begin to “touch the world.” - Cosmos 3 is the #1 open-weight reasoner / T2I / I2V / robot policy across many benchmarks. Huge thanks to every teammate who fought side by side on this journey—from architecture, data, training, infra, serving, and evaluation to post-training. Every part of this project carries an incredible amount of hard work. This was my first time leading a project as Tech Lead, and I feel truly fortunate. The future of Physical AI needs models that can not only “see” and “describe” the world, but also “imagine,” “simulate,” and “act”—and eventually close the loop with the real world. I hope Cosmos 3 can become an important starting point for this direction, and I’m excited to push Physical AI into its next stage together with the open-source community.

Catching up with China and the US, LG's humanoid robot, KAPEX, was developed jointly with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). It is powered by LG's Exaone visual language model, high-end Korean actuators, and a multi-tactile dexterous hand. The humanoid robot is scheduled to be released in November of this year. LG announced its entry into the home humanoid robot market at CES 2025, but first unveiled an AI robot codenamed Q9 as a base model.

Humanoid robotics is entering a new phase： Xiaomi Robotics 0 (XR-0) explores learning manipulation directly from large-scale human videos — aligning video understanding with robot embodiment to generate executable actions. Watch humans->learn representations ->map to robot control. Robot data is scarce. Internet video is not. If video pretraining transfers reliably into embodied control, the scaling law of robotics changes. Deployment speed becomes a function of model alignment, not just hardware iteration. We’re moving from engineered skills to learned behavior. That’s a structural shift. project:
