Action prediction keeps a world model focused on physics

What changedConcat IDM trains the shared encoder to reconstruct actions from consecutive latent states, without changing the test-time planner. Across three Push-T runs with 24 appearances, planning success rose from 9.1 to 77.2 percent, isolating a failure that visual variation can cause.

Push-T scenes with varied appearances illustrate control-relevant dynamics under visual change.

The useful part

Why it matters

Across three Push-T runs with 24 appearances, planning success rose from 9.1 to 77.2 percent, isolating a failure that visual variation can cause.

Keep in mind

Good to know

The evaluation is controlled and simulation-based.
