What Visual Representations Do World Action Models Need?
A preprint from Chinese humanoid maker Galbot and the Chinese Academy of Sciences tests which off-the-shelf image encoders make video-based robot brains more reliable, and finds that one strong general-purpose encoder delivers most of the gain. Their resulting recipe tops the RoboCasa humanoid tabletop benchmark at 84.7% and adds 10 points of success on three real Galbot robot tasks.
