Pelican-Unify 1.0: A Unified Embodied Intelligence Model for Understanding, Reasoning, Imagination and Action

In this report, we present Pelican-VLA 0.5, a unified VLA model that integrates vision-language understanding, future-frame generation, and action prediction within a single architecture. Pelican-VLA 0.5 achieves attention-level generalization: without object annotations, segmentation masks, attention supervision, or task-specific fine-tuning, its action pathway already focuses on the manipulation-relevant object and contact region. This behavior persists across unseen scenes and unseen robot embodiments, and is substantially stronger than in other open-source VLA baselines. We verify that this ability originates from the learnable Bottleneck Token inserted between perception and action: by routing task-relevant visual information through a compact bottleneck, the tokens interface induces manipulation-centric attention during pre-training and remains effective across different policy structures, including a MoT-style architecture.

In this technical report, we propose Pelican-Sim 1.0, a general world model simulator for embodied intelligence that predicts future observations from visual context and robot actions to support downstream learning and decision making. The model incorporates four key design features: (1) Unified action representation: a 28-dimensional action value space covering most mainstream embodiments, keeping one model valid across heterogeneous devices. (2) Action-visual injection: URDF- and camera-rendered action videos bridge actions and pixels, giving markedly better controllability across embodiments, scenes, and tasks (PSNR +0.904 over alternative fusion baselines). (3) Sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE): sparse MoE layers add capacity for heterogeneous dynamics and absorb the action modality while reducing inter-modality conflict (FVD -6.530 vs. the dense backbone). (4) Efficient rollout generation: causal adaptation and few-step distillation yield a four-step autoregressive simulator, achieving a 5.67-fold speedup over the 35-step model. Benefiting from these designs, we train on approximately one million real-world and simulated trajectories and obtain large gains in action controllability and video quality: PSNR improves over the strongest evaluated baselines by 4.636 on AgiBotWorld Beta, 2.080 on RoboMIND, and 10.343 on RoboTwin, with the adapted EWMBench DYN score up 0.426 on RoboTwin. Relying on this, four downstream applications on RoboTwin succeed: 500 generated trajectories added to 50 demonstrations per task raise policy success from 70% to 93%; policy evaluation reaches a Pearson correlation of 0.994 across five checkpoints; and relative success gains reach 47.7% for action selection and 20.3% for policy improvement. Qualitative generalization across trajectory, scene, object, embodiment, and viewpoint shifts highlights its potential as a general-purpose world model simulator.

General-purpose embodied agents must understand multimodal instructions, anticipate how their environment will evolve, and produce precise control actions over extended horizons. Existing approaches typically specialize in visual-language reasoning, video-based world modeling, or action generation, while cascaded pipelines that first synthesize future observations and then infer actions can introduce interface bottlenecks and compound prediction errors. We present iFLYTEK-Embodied-Omni, a unified multimodal foundation model that jointly models vision(videos and images), language, and action within a single Omni framework. Its modality-specific visual-language, video-generation, and action-generation components communicate through shared multimodal self-attention. This design establishes brain-cerebellum collaboration: the vision-language modeland video generation model form a high-level brain for instruction understanding, task planning, progress tracking, and future visual-state prediction, whereas the action generation modelserves as a low-level cerebellum that directly converts planned subgoals and shared multimodal context into executable action chunks. To develop these capabilities, we combine action-annotated and action-free embodied videos from human demonstrations and robot interactions with embodied reasoning, embodied perception, and general-purpose image-text data to construct a comprehensive dataset. We further adopt a four-stage strategy that progressively trains the VLM, VGM, and AGM before jointly fine-tuning the complete model.
