WorldScape Policy 2.0: Empowering Steerable World Action Modeling with Reasoning-Augmented Memory and In-Context Learning

World Action Models (WAMs) offer a promising paradigm for robotic manipulation by jointly modeling visual state transitions and robot actions. However, existing WAMs are constrained by limited temporal context, coarse episode-level language supervision, and predominantly text-only conditioning, which hinder task-progress tracking and fine-grained language-video-action grounding while limiting visual-context reasoning and cross-embodiment transfer. In this paper, we introduce WorldScape Policy 2.0, a controllable WAM with reasoning-augmented long short-term memory. Its causal short-term visual memory supplies recent observations as DiT prefill to preserve local interaction dynamics, while its long short-term event memory organizes historical VLM outputs into global-history, local-active, and event-boundary representations for progress-aware retrieval. The retrieved history augments perception and autoregressively generated planning tokens, yielding an implicit subgoal condition for autonomous planning; semantic forcing further transfers event-level instruction semantics into this latent planning pathway. To establish fine-grained multimodal controllability, we construct ManipEvent-5M, an event-grounded embodied pretraining dataset containing nearly 5 million event segments with aligned action trajectories, episode-level task instructions, segment-level subtask captions, goal images, and video demonstrations. These designs provide a unified interface for autonomous planning from high-level instructions and controllable execution from fine-grained text, goal-image, or video-context prompts. Experiments in both simulation and real-world platforms demonstrate superior capabilities in long-horizon autonomous planning, fine-grained instruction following and in-context adaptation.

$R^2$-WAM: Repair-and-Reject Post-Training for World Action Models

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-reject post-training framework that first improves the consistency of predicted futures with input actions, then uses these futures to select inferior action samples for negative fine-tuning. The repair stage grounds imagination in observed robot behavior through a kinematic alignment score that measures agreement between predicted and demonstrated motion, enabling the predicted video to faithfully reflect its input actions. Using the repaired video model, the rejection stage compares imagined outcomes of sampled and demonstrated actions, selectively applying negative fine-tuning to samples whose predicted task progress falls below the demonstrated reference by a prescribed margin. Together, the two stages extend video prediction from representation learning to consequence-based policy refinement without additional environment interaction or changes to the inference procedure. $R^2$-WAM achieves 93.8% average success on RoboTwin 2.0 across clean and randomized settings. On the long-horizon real-world Fold Shirt task, it achieves 87.5% average success, compared with 0% for Fast-WAM. Our project page is available at https://r2-wam.github.io/.

Praxis: Distilling Physical Interaction Priors from Egocentric Videos for Generalizable Whole-Body Manipulation

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 that combines physical interaction priors from one-shot egocentric video demonstrations with closed-loop posture calibration and online perception. The framework coordinates three stages: vision-language-guided navigation toward target objects, closed-loop posture calibration to align the arm-hand workspace, and dexterous manipulation with synchronized upper- and lower-body control. Online visual feedback re-grounds demonstrated interaction geometry under new object poses and scene configurations, while tactile feedback adapts hand motions to actual contact conditions. Each manipulation skill is specified by one human demonstration, without task-specific manipulation-policy retraining. Experiments across five long-horizon manipulation tasks demonstrate spatial, visual, and cross-object generalization, as well as recovery from external physical disturbances across all three stages.
