Directly maps visual observations and language instructions to continuous robot actions, replacing LLM-centric V→L→A pipelines. Uses separate visual and language encoders with lightweight bidirectional interaction and a compact decoder to cut inference cost and VRAM, achieving ~31 ms latency and <1 GB VRAM on an RTX 4090; suited for real-time robotic manipulation under tight compute budgets.
Evaluates whether vision-language models can make actionable decisions for a physical body by decoupling decision-making from low-level motor execution. Introduces HumanCLAW-Bench with 1,218 long-horizon egocentric episodes across 41 indoor scenes and diagnoses a lack of embodied self-awareness in current VLMs.
Learns a discrete “physical language” from unlabeled videos and uses a reason-then-render pipeline: predict compact state-transition tokens, then decode them into future video. Separates dynamics inference from pixel synthesis to improve physical fidelity, controllable simulation, and zero-shot motion transfer.
