Generative video foundation models exhibit strong compositional priors, yet world-action models (WAMs) and video-action models (VAMs) often lose these priors after finetuning on robotic action data. We refer to this discrepancy as the video-action generalization gap. In this pape…
World models aim to capture environment dynamics in ways that support perception, reasoning, and action, and have recently become a central direction in Vision-Language-Action-World (VLAW) modeling. Meanwhile, unified vision-language models have demonstrated strong multimodal gen…
Diffusion-based motion planners have demonstrated strong performance in generating diverse and high-quality robot trajectories in cluttered environments with multiple feasible solutions. However, existing approaches typically operate on fixed-length waypoint sequences, making the…
Embedded finance is usually described as the integration of financial services into non-financial platforms. This article argues that the deeper regulatory transformation is the embedding of future legal and economic obligations into ordinary consumption, work, business, and ente…
