Long-horizon visual goals remain surprisingly hard for robot manipulation. We introduce Act2Goal, a goal-conditioned policy that uses a visual world model to reason about progress toward a goal, and practice it autonomously in the real world.

🧐Applying world models to improve real-world policy on challenging manipulation tasks used to be considered out of reach. 😌After sustained effort, we’re now seeing encouraging progress. 🚀Thrilled to introduce RISE: Self-Improving Robot Policy with Compositional World Model RISE is, to our knowledge, the first work to use a world model as an effective learning environment for challenging real-world manipulation, enabling policy improvement on tasks that demand high dynamics, dexterity, and precision. Incredible teamwork with KL Hongyang Li Yue Xiangyu Hao Zhao Chonghao Sima

By integrating future video generation, proprioceptive state estimation, and reward-based policy assessment, GE-Sim 2.0 moves beyond visual simulation toward an embodied world simulator with built-in evaluation capability, laying the foundation for a world-model-centric platform for closed-loop and interactive policy learning. It provides a practical framework for scalable evaluation and training of robotic manipulation policies. Project page: #AGIBOT #AGIBOTAIWeek #GenieEnvisioner #Robotics #visualsimulation

I have been cleaning my daughter's mess for more than two years now. Last weekend our robot came to home to do the job for me. 🤖 Our new work on visual whole-body control learns a policy to coordinate the robot legs and arms for mobile manipulation. See how the legs bend on grasping objects on the ground based on visual inputs autonomously. (It is NOT teleoperation!) We again adopt a Sim2Real approach and our policy generalizes to beaches, forests, and streets in San Diego. 👇🧵

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.

Testing robot policies on hardware is slow, expensive and hard to scale. World models offer a promising path to accelerating robot policy development. We're sharing new research from the Runway Robotics team, in which we simulated 8 robot policies inside our General World Model and found 0.95 correlation with real-world results. Those early results point to world model simulation as a practical substitute for hardware evaluation, comparing favorably to existing real-to-sim approaches. Learn more at the link below.

Robot policies must be both reliable and highly capable to be useful; the best way to achieve this level of performance is with reinforcement learning. However, for reinforcement learning you are usually stuck between two difficult options: reinforcement in the real world is often risky and expensive, while reinforcement learning in a traditional simulator takes a lot of engineering work and has a persistent sim-to-real gap. What if instead you could train your robot purely in a world model? RISE by Jiazhi Yang et al. uses a compositional world model to predict the future and evaluate progress. This allows for a self-improving pipeline, which learns a world model from real data and then learns how the robot should perform different tasks. This pipeline results in a data-driven way to improve policy performance from real data but without real-world reinforcement learning. Watch Episode #86 of RoboPapers, with Chris Paxton and Jiafei Duan, to learn more!

📢 Announcing one of the most exciting works from us this year on **scalable robot policy evaluation through real-to-sim transfer**, moving toward a scalable evaluation engine with structured world models that capture the appearance, geometry, and dynamics of environments involving deformable objects. 🤖 Evaluation remains one of the biggest bottlenecks in building general-purpose robots. Today, robots are still evaluated only in the real world, which is **orders of magnitude slower** than the development of language agents. We propose a new framework where simulation performance **strongly correlates** with the real world (r > 0.9), even for deformable objects. The key difference from existing work lies in the correlation between simulation and reality: if a robot model performs better in the digital world, does it also perform better in the real world? This question has long made people hesitant about simulation-based evaluation — especially for deformable objects. We are changing that. Our pipeline achieves effective real-to-sim transfer, establishing **state-of-the-art correlation** between simulation and reality for deformable object manipulation. It provides a **scalable and reproducible evaluation engine** for robot learning. 🌐
